Like Charley I'm looking forward to part 2, but unlike Charlie I'm not a Forth LEGEND!<br /><br />My story is much longer than yours as I'm 65 this year but I vary from you guys in that I'm electronics first and always have been. I've never wanted to generate a fractal or own a Vic or Atari or Amiga. The hardware I loved the most was a second hand SWTP 6800 development system for which I hacked Assembly code for hand-wired HC11 hardware and life was smooth as silk.<br /><br />Nowadays Forth and STM32xxx own my soul, or what's left of it after all this time ;)<br /><br />In my experience no two Forth people are alike and we all develop systems that uniquely suit us (and probably no one else). Here is my first ever YouTube video of my Forth development system, apologies for the quality.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDi-Nlz3-QA<br />Cheers, Terry from Australia.techman-001https://www.blogger.com/profile/16880245017868516427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-11871843203397692222017-06-22T03:53:52.286-04:002017-06-22T03:53:52.286-04:00Forth AND PDP-10 content, it's bliss!Forth AND PDP-10 content, it's bliss!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-70046997580929061452017-06-09T02:31:42.886-04:002017-06-09T02:31:42.886-04:00Looking forward to the rest of the story!

I got some fractals to display after running a Forth program over night, lots of fun at the time.
