[colorforth] Hello [PPP TCP/IP PCMCIA USB ethernet]

[William Glover <Bill.Glover@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
Just dropping my hat into the ring. I'm a complete Forth newbie, but I like 
what I see especially in colorForth. 

Depending on your point of view, I currently serve the Dark Side for my day 
job. (Sun calls me a "Java Architect"), but I hope you won't hold that 
against me. :) I'm as tired of bloated, buggy, slow, "platforms" as the next 
guy.

I'm lucky enough to have one of the supported hw configs so I haven't hacked 
the kernel yet. But the external floppy on the Fujitsu is failing and I will 
be porting to an older Dell latitude LS (it boots, the logo shows, but in 
640x480 not 800x600 image is clipped from upper left of full image) 

I still don't *really* understand half the words in colorForth, but I'm 
getting there.

I have some thoughts around improving adoption of Forth and colorForth in 
particular. (mostly with a view toward my not having to work on anything 
else) If you like/implement/make-millions-off the idea great, just be sure to 
hire me so I can enjoy the ride. :) 

It's wordy so read at your leisure.
