Squeak on a mouse?

Ran across this. Kind of a cool idea. The whole computer is in the mouse. My first thought was, I want to put a VM on that:) as it would be convenient for users of e.g. EToys and Scratch.

Then it occurred to me: Squeak, running on a *mouse.* You know _that's_ right!

Couldn't help sharing the thought...

Sounds as a good place for put my Cuis fork.

Try and see what you could do with the smaller Morphic Smalltalk

Casey,

That is a nice idea, but just to remind people of older implementations
I would like to point out the late Jef Fox's computer in a mouse from
2000:

http://www.ultratechnology.com/scope.htm

The F21 processor was created from Jef by Chuck Moore and ran Forth
natively. In this demo, the whole computer was inside the mouse and the
cable coming out of it was the video cable you connected to a monitor.

I wish I could resist seeing the comments on that (and indeed so much of the internet) - “duh, ARM means android”. What a pillock.

Thanks for the link, Jecel. I'm particularly impressed that it's a few hundred words of Forth (I'm assuming he must mean word definitions. 600 actual total words seems unlikely to me; it would be cool to get clarification.) Still though, that's not a lot for a functioning GUI.

IIRC, a word In Forth is more like a method in Smalltalk
