Pulling Web XML data into spreadsheet
Unfortunately due to IT lock down I cannot use Pharo at work, but the first 1:30 of video [1] demonstrates a nice use case to aim for DataFrame + FastTable. Similar functionality in Pharo would make a compelling video, to the degree it may even be worthwhile including this out-of-the-box to make a great "first ten minutes" experience for newcomers, or at least a one-click install from the catalog (linked from the help file). What parts do we have for putting together something like this? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H7tBL97orE cheers -ben

Nope. You prompted me to try once again ==> This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator. Even renaming pharo.exe to notepad.exe doesn't work. It seems they are using signature based white-listing[1].
From an Ops security perspective I applaud such policy. First place I've seen it used. Its the only real protection. Much better than a virus scanner which only maybePossibly notices based on heuristics observing behaviour after the malware is already running. From a practical/user perspective, uurgh,aarggh!
