Hi Juan,

You are so right! SqueakNews is wonderful, and it is well worth reading
it today. I am happy to learn that it is available on Github now. I still
have the original disks that were delivered to my physical mailbox many
years ago.

Along with the Windows VM, I am happy to add that Linux/Unix users can
still make a VM that runs SqueakNews, sound and all. Instructions are
at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6354. And of course it will run the
Cuis v3 images from GitHub also.
