Hi john Excellent! I forgot to thank the local organizers like michele, alain that help us to make money with the conference organization. You know when we took over ESUG we dreamed of making things but the money was not there because the conference in itself was the goal and this was ok. But we wanted to do more :)
BTW did you say that to the scratch people? May be you should mention that to etoyers and squeakers too. May be etoy could run on iPhone/iPad? We are happy to get scratch further too. I heard rumors that they would rewrite everything in another language so the iphone and ipad support may be the best way to keep them in smalltalk. I hope. I have a question. I could not try yet (I asked mariano to play with an ipod touch and we will buy an ipad) is scratch working ok from a speed point of view on an ipod touch?
