[Coco] $200 for an SDC was crazy?

[Joel Rees]

Yeah, but setting it up is not the tinkering they are looking forward to.

One of these days I'll get someone to pay me
to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C.
Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef,
run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define,
and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast.
