Ok guys, I guess you are the exception that proves the rule ... something like that. My perspective is high school students in a classroom-like setting. You give me your IP address, I make a badge for you, and I can drop a morph on your badge to send it to you. You need a way to discover your IP address. Nice to be able to do it in Squeak.

Yup. I run virtual machines (VMware, not Smalltalk) for development,
and that also tends to result in a lot of interfaces and IP address.
My desktop machine has 3 active interfaces and 3 addresses. One of my
virtual machines has 2 interfaces, with a total of 5 IP addresses, and
the other has 2 interfaces and 2 addresses.

We should probably just get rid of that primitive entirely.
