Things for you

In lieu of actually writing anything, I will cut and paste.

If my parents had bought me that Forth book, I'd probably be an Internet millionaire by now.

I actually wish I'd learned a language other than BASIC when I was a kid, as I only moved on to machine language when I was about 12 and to C when I was 15. Since I grew up on an Atari, Forth would have been the logical choice for good mind-expanding fun. But not only did I miss out on that, but I missed out on that book, which no doubt taught some intense Dungeons and Dragons variant of Forth in its pages.

The female Forth programmer's top must make use of anti-gravity for support.
