Hi all, I'm evaluating PBE (1.0) because my nephew is starting to get interested in programming :-) There is a VM issue though: the PBE website refers the pharo website to download the VM, and the only VM I can find is in the 1.3 download page. This VM however crashes with the PBE image (MacOS). It works with the latest squeakvm (non-cog) though. I think, as a minimal-effort patch, it would be good to have the PBE website refer to squeakvm.org and clearly indicate that to run the PBE image a non-cog VM should be used. Idem on the pharoproject website.

Sure: It immediately crashed on opening the image. :-( ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry jfabry@dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

it may be because cog not supports an old image format. you using PBE image of some sort? maybe we should update it.
