[Cuis-dev] A note for ourself

[Juan Vuletich]

Yes. The idea of first removing vowels, etc comes (I believe) from 
Squeak's old days. I think it is useful for (for instance) Browser 
buttons. Open a Browser, make it smaller, and see what happens. The "cat 
porridge" is perhaps still useful.

But may be it should not be used for window title. Opinions?

Thanks,
