It's great for a tinkerer and experimenter. When I saw that FIG, the FORTH Interest Group, had released a version to the public, but that it needed to be adapted to specific brands of computers, I decided to take that opportunity to go into business, selling Timin FORTH. However, other people did similar things, and some of them did a better job than me.<BR/><BR/>Words of Wisdom? Marketing and business details are equally as important as the quality of the product. You are unlikely to succeed without a team effort.<BR/><BR/>m<BR/><BR/>mMitchellhttp://earthchurch.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-53098755686358277022009-03-29T07:51:00.000-07:002009-03-29T07:51:00.000-07:00Mitchell, I know that Forth is not on your topic l...Mitchell, I know that Forth is not on your topic list, but I'm plenty curious about your experience. I have a copy of your "Learning FORTH" (and just about every other book on the language.) I never used TiminForth because I was a 6502 junkie at the time. But I wonder about how you took up the language, came to write a book (how long did it take you to become an expert?) and if you have any words of wisdom based on your experience as a Forth entrepreneur.<BR/><BR/>The topic may not interest you since it's long past, so please excuse me for asking.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>DaveDave Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17091387666334832101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-47342731177632359172009-03-28T21:11:00.000-07:002009-03-28T21:11:00.000-07:00I forgot to mention that I like your hat!I forgot to mention that I like your hat!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112250865039387484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-52791904250186234272009-03-26T09:20:00.000-07:002009-03-26T09:20:00.000-07:00Mitchell,Unfortunately, English is my second langu...Mitchell,<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, English is my second language and I do not feel like it is good enough to participate in commenting on subject but I am looking forward to hear your opinion on current political situation,nature of reality and economics, whenever you decide to write on it.<BR/><BR/>Andrzejarb65912https://www.blogger.com/profile/01585864258447582451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-43551378371060012062009-03-25T11:36:00.000-07:002009-03-25T11:36:00.000-07:00I have published guest article on my blog.

Some people asked me to write it up but I´ve been too lazy, or too busy, or suffering from too many recurrences of ¨la gripa¨(flu). This isn´t right up your alley, but maybe you´d like to write something on the subject.<BR/><BR/>Un abrazo,<BR/><BR/>DavkdUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112250865039387484noreply@blogger.com
