Squeak is a new implementation of the Smalltalk programming
environment; it includes among other things:
* a rapid-turn-around Smalltalk-80 compiler,
* a caching-JIT run-time virtual machine (with full source in
Smalltalk),
* large class libraries with portable data and GUI models, and
* an integrated development environment with coding tools, GUI
construction.
Squeak was developed at Apple Labs and Walt Disney and has been ported
to a variety of computers (including most flavors of UNIX and
Windows). Compared to other Smalltalk systems, Squeak has 4 important
features:
* Portability (to Mac, Windows, WinCE, and many flavors of UNIX);
* Speed (it uses native C for compute-intensive code);
* Price (free, including all source code and the right to distribute
applications!); and
* Sophistication (full Smalltalk-80 language, libraries, and tools).

Remove squeak2 in favor of squeak3. squeak2 is outdated, obsolete and
no longer needed.
