I've always considered "all objects respond to #value" as a bug.
It certainly is not portable: it wasn't in Smalltalk-80, or Apple Smalltalk,
or ANSI Smalltalk, and it isn't in GNU Smalltalk or Dolphin Smalltalk or
VisualWorks. It's a peculiarity of Squeak/Pharo and Smalltalk/X.

I've made the change from grandfather to grandparent. Unfortunately, I cannot
alter the URL — it still reads grandfather.
As much as I would like to use Tesla, the problem is that our grandparents

About not feeling
The problem is that the underlying premise of my article would be undermined.
Our grandparents had nothing like the Tesla.
I used Maserati because it's an /aspirational/ car. Not practical. Not
cheap. But droolworthy.
Nobody dreams of owning a Tesla. But Maserati? Bugatti? Porsche? Aston
Martin?
Thanks!
I have a question for everyone. Someone has taken me to task for being
"sexist". He says I should refer to "grandparent" instead of "grandfather".
I'd like to ask for your opinion. Would "grandparent" sound better in my
article? Imagine replacing all instances of "grandfather" with

Hi Roelof,
There is a seaside specific mailing list you could join here:

Forse (visto il successo della tua mail), sarebbe opportuno cominciare
