(ray) That's neat-o! You simply have to share this with me. I'd love
to have ChuckBot include sound. I'm an accomplished guitarist ( may
start giving lessons soon). This is impressive Nick. I have every
intention of getting some of the "TechTaxes" collected in our area
from hi-tech companies to go to the arts. A production piece to be
based around readable, programmable colorforth has always been a
desired result of my study.

I'd love to read your code.

On the colorforth.info front:
Charles Childers of Retroforth fame has gracefully allowed me space on
his server for the site. It's mysteriously unreachable currently and
we are trying to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. I have
much to post. I've been detailing colorforth on a scale like the
Karig.org commentary site and can't wait to update.
