very cool presentation. Definitely you need to add this to the new website. 

Question : Why in every presentation we have to apologise why smalltalk is dead / extinct ?   

As a newcomer to Smalltalk I find it quite annoying. Its not as if I came to Smalltalk without knowing that is not popular. The vast majority of languages out there are so more unpopular than Smalltalk, yet they don't have this "sorry that I am dead" mentality to them. 

+1 

Well said.

Noel Rappin: "But Really, You Should Learn Smalltalk�

Smalltalk has mystique. We talk about it more than we use it. It seems like it should be so similar to Ruby. It has similar Object-Oriented structures, it even has blocks. But everything is so slightly different, from the programming environment, to the 1-based arrays, to the simple syntax. Using Smalltalk will make you look at familiar constructs with new eyes. We�ll show you how to get started on Smalltalk, and walk through some sample code. Live coding may be involved. You�ll never look at objects the same way again.
