Neat! I had a South African programmer (I lived in Africa for three years) who
was the reigning chess champ. He loved Forth and got me started with it. That
was back when CPM was still in use... Oh, memories of a awesome continent.

They released a 40M hard drive back then. Days of super computing! : )
I had the first terminal which had something like 60 columns and 8 rows or
something. It was almost as fast as a punchcard machine, but did not quite
have the capacity. Well, give or take a lie or two.
