image overload

I like the term "Dynamic Object system" since Smalltalk is more
than just the language.

But Dynamic Object System/Storage would lead to "DOS" which
is mostly negative in IT (Disk Operating System from M$
and Denial of Service ...)

Maybe DOP - "Dynamic Object Pool" ...

Well, the snapshot is just a Frozen System State. You need to warm it
up to let Dynamic Objects live again.

Now that's an idea. Is the .cryo extension taken? Though it looks like someone dropped a "pt" ...

I like Terry's ObjectSoup. In addition to freezing/thawing metaphors,
one that I had thrown at me about a year back, is the term pickling.
Supposedly (according to our resident Archeosmalltalker Steve Dahl),
back in the day, there was always talk about how to properly "pickle"
things across saves. So we could say we "pickle our objects", and
everyone knows pickles go in jars. There ya have it, it let's call 'em
jar files. :D

Other than that, I vote for referring to the image as the petri dish.
Or culture. Overloading culture would lead to all kinds of interesting
discussions.

"So, how's your culture?" "Oh, man, my culture's all messed up. I had
to restart my culture." Culture even works at some broader sense,
since cultures all about Behaviors, and that's what Smalltalk is all
about as well.

Re: image overload

OMG. Okay, the yogurt thing takes the cake.

While we're having a spot of fun, I'd say: until we have better ways
of moving objects between images and architectures, we might as well
call the thing Hotel California:)
