Yea, I tried a really early version and it slipped my mind to ever get back to it ��� I did use NewtonScript a bit ��� I was one�� of the few that liked the Newton, probably because I hate talking on the phone, lol.�� It was pretty good on the last release of the Newton.�� I still have it somewhere but I put it in a box in my last move and haven���t come across it again.�� I like the iPhone ok, but I rarely answer calls, I use it as anything but a phone.

Planning to run up a version if I can get one that will run on Solaris 11, or at least I can rebuild the VM for it ����� I have a couple of T2000���s and a couple of T5120���s ��� 64 threads and 64GB RAM should be plenty 😉.�� Right now a bit short of time for just playing though.

Self worked fine.�� It was a bit memory-hungry on the machines of the early 1990s, but I taught a class on OOP using it in about 1996 or 1997.��

The NewtonScript language for the ill-fated Newton tablet was essentially Self.���� A bit ahead of its time ��� it would run fine in today���s mobile phones.
