"Also during the early 80's, a small group at Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), was excited by the vision of Smalltalk and didn't know that it couldn't be implemented on an 8086-based DOS machine. The result was [create Digitalk], which delivered what few thought possible, [create Methods] and then Smalltalk/V, a complete graphical Smalltalk on a 512K PC/AT!"

"Well, I recall George Bosworth, [create Jim Anderson] and [[create Barbara Noparstak]] telling me at work in LA that they were indeed CSC consultants working in Italy for [create Olivetti] when they read the Byte Smalltalk Language issue. If I am not mistaken in my memories, Olivetti was quite helpful in supporting them in their endeavours to start Digitalk with its first character-based Smalltalk product, [create Methods]."
