Thanks.  It was literally my pleasure.

DKBTrace was originally developed on an Amiga computer in C.  I did code 
in some ideas from Smalltalk that I learned a few years earlier (I 
learned Smalltalk in 1984).  By 1996, I was working full-time in 
Smalltalk and have been primarily using Smalltalk for my entire 
programming career.

How many people even know what Smalltalk is these days?  Not many.
