[Elecraft] Now that we know

[Kevin Rock]

Good grief guys, Eric is going to go ape when he sees us writing code on 
his Reflector now you want it to be perfect?  It was supposed to be a 
bumper sticker not an app ;)

Funny thing about Forth is it is very close to assembly language in speed 
but writes like a high level language.  Wonderful for bit banging and 
writing AI code in the same robot.  I used it for a number of robotic 
projects in grad school.  The very first OO language too.  Methods and 
data were in the same bag way back in 1980 when I started learning it.  
Great for embedded stuff too.  Fast prototyping and great results.  You 
can actually use the prototype unlike a certain Visual language I've used.

Forgive us Eric but we are zealots ;)

It has not been that long for me thankfully.  Only a year or so.
