Squeak does not work on my netbook. If it doesn’t work on my netbook, I can’t use it. I’m going to try to install it on a computer at Interlock in the near future. We’ll see. Etoys/squeak worked on Alan’s Mac. But that’s Alan’s Mac, and not my netbook. 
’til next time, smalltalk.
Edit: I got a hold of an XO at Interlock and played for some time with Etoys. I also got it working on my netbook shortly after, but it’s faster on the XO. Haha. A revised conclusion soon to follow…
Did you try Etoys-To-Go from http://squeakland.org/download ? And what exactly fails?
