As for me, Pentium colorForth is basically a hobby. It's about knowing
that I can use those machines and know what all the software is doing.
I can have a pretty good understanding of what is going on from the
line chord to the keyboard.

It's about what I can do with cheap hardware. I'm no programmer,
unlike y'all. So, nearly everything I do with it is a reflection of
just how much I understand about computing as a whole.

I do have interest in the new SEAForth chips. I'll prob'ly wait to
play with it 'till I have one in hand.
