Because of that, (Squeak for the Macintosh V5 and iSqueak v2.x ) It made it 
possible for me to implement a Scratch viewer for the iPhone 
If you check the reviews at

You'll see it made a lot of 12 years old kids happy. Although the kids don't 
directly see the ESUG funding here, it did have an impact in their lives.
Also out of it the MIT folks will have a transition platform (Scratch on the 
iPad) to explore UI issues with.
