    There will be an advanced topic talk tomorrow (Wed) on Squeak Smalltalk.
    
    For those of you who think you know Object Oriented Programming, but
    have never used SmallTalk, this a a good intro.
    
    For those who wonder what the biggest deal is about OOP, this is also a
    good intro.
    
    For those who know more than Ken, and want to challenge him, you have to
    wait 15 minutes....
    
    The talk will be all demo -- no slides!
    
    Squeak is a Smalltalk development system which is free and runs on most 
    computers.  Ken Dickey will give a live demo of the Squeak system,
    starting at the 20,000 foot view (cool eToys) then getting into how
    Smalltalk development works and down into the 1 foot level (like what
    happens when you drop into the debugger).
    
    Ken spend 5 years at Tektronix, 7 years at Apple, and more recently was
    CTO of a startup in Sydney Australia

    Meeting is at 7:00 pm at It's a Beautiful Pizza on Belmont
    
    Directions:
    
             East on Belmont to Zupan's Grocery, then find a place to
             park other than Zupan's lot. Pizza is two doors east of
             Zupan's, on the North side of the street. (They may be on
             the south side of the street; they are moving, but have
             promised that there will be space for us to meet in.)
    
             BUS: #15    http://www.tri-met.org/schedule/r015.htm
    Belmont
                         10 frequency (east/west) 3:30 to 6:30.
                         15 frequency (east/west) 6:30 to 9:00.
                         30 frequency (east/west) 9:00 to 12:00.
    
             BUS: #75    http://www.tri-met.org/schedule/r075.htm
    39th
                         ?? frequency (north/south) <5 blocks east>
    
    If you cross the Morrison Bridge Eastbound, you land on
             Belmont, continue straight about 30 blocks. Parking is
             at a premium for those who drive. The place will be on
             your left just past Zupan's. The 'sign' is a yellow
             banner hanging from the wall above the awning, and pretty
             hard to read at nite.
    
             Belmont is one block south of Morrison, 5 blocks south of
             Stark, 10 blocks south of Burnside; and 6 blocks north of
             Hawthorne.
