:) I actually had just started porting my projects from Pharo 1.2 to 1.3 and
I didn't really have any data in the frozen image. But, I realized that if
an important (possibly not-backed-up?) image ever froze on me, I'd be
totally helpless. It felt like an important psychological and intellectual
exercise to know that I could go down the VM rabbit hole when needed and
rescue myself no matter how badly I messed something up in the image. So, I
drew a line in the sand and decided I would do whatever it took to figure it
out.

Having come out the other side, nothing seems impossible (although I got
really clear why I made the 15 year journey from C that has landed me on
Smalltalk - compile cycles suck, for one thing). I would recommend everyone
dive into the VM. I feel much more at ease now, and look forward to possibly
contributing to the VM (beyond just filing a lot of bug reports, lol).

p.s. It's awesome to have a cadre of VM experts at our fingertips. I got
near-immediate support from Mariano, Elliot, and Igor; which made all the
difference.
