Well that was bad news but I note that better news has followed in other
replies.  Primarily I am (probably) most interested in the MVP aspect so I'd
like to see what the base model and view provide along with whatever they
are subclassed from of course.  Ultimately what happens when browsing docs
however is something strikes ones interest and that leads to something which
then leads to something else.  I'll guess that I wouldn't wander too deeply
into the representations of numerics, booleans. stacks, queues,
linked-lists, et. al.  I can pretty much guess how they work.

Ultimately I would need to be able to produce a listview containing the
names and id's of customers (for instance.)  Then choosing from the list
fetch, edit and then save the properties of that customer.  The kinds of
things that a typical business would expect out of typical software.  The
companies are already doing these things in C++, VB6 and what have you.
Some are considering a migration to C# or VB.Net.  I can't point at a
single-user version of Etch-A-Sketch and suggest they consider using
Smalltalk based upon that.  Well, I _can_ suggest it but they aren't likely
to do it.

Similarly pointing out "IBM uses it" doesn't mean much to companies one
one-millionth the size.  IBM uses everything somewhere.

Thanks,
Tom
