Thanks for the correction.

Hmm, I think you are right. I'm not so sure how they selected the  
participants, now. Looks like they now accepted 4000 our of 25000  
requests.
Initially it was even less, I read. So, probably, I was expecting that  
there was some selection. But I just checked on
their site and one can apply without being asked about the nature of  
the software. So, maybe the Smalltalk guy
just ports the VM and then sees what Apple will do?
