[Squeakland] Can EToys Teach Me to Program in Squeak?

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi all,

Talking about Scratch, do anybody know how to get it?. I was yesterday 
giving a short talk and small Hands-on workshop about Squeak to the 
people of Web Programming and NTICs (New Technologies of Informatics and 
Comunitation) in Education here at University and they get really 
impressed. They ask me about something like Scratch and I pointed it, 
but I had to say I dont know how/where to get/download it.

Cheers,

Offray

Ps: ¿Has anybody read my questions in my previous meal about OLPC and 
Squeak? Any response?
