Hallo,
nice, that you recognize newbies as me ;-)

Several questions I have:
I have meanwhile Pharo 1.4 (squeak, etoys, scratch) and NBCog on my PC
and an image which runs with squeak from http://www.preeminent.org/squeak/tut2007/html/
NBCog show too the Pharo-tower, question is it really Pharo?
As a friend says NBCog is several times 'faster' then ..., reason for trying NBCog (too).
Question, in NBCog, importing the Laser-Game code I get messages
like Deprecated:� Form subclass: #FormStub
��� instanceVariableNames: 'locator'
��� classVariableNames: ''
��� poolDictionaries: ''
��� category: 'Graphics-Display Objects''Deprecated14'

What should "Graphics-Display Objects" be, where is it replaced?
And I miss TextStyle.

Greetings
