@bitsplusatoms Oh wow, that must have been something to be there first hand. I'm just past the point where a competing IBM computer that had a basic green and black screen basically stole the market, by being cheaper. Were you there also during the creation of the Dorado?

@neauoire Dorado was up and running when I arrived. During my new-hire orientation (or whatever they called it), I got my first demo of smalltalk running on a Dorado. It blew my mind.

It was the now-classic demo of going into the smalltalk source, making a simple change to the selection highlighting method, hitting “accept”, and having the new selection model work immediately. It was so fast and so seamless that it seemed like magic.
