I appreciate your point of view on this subject, Terry, 
but like Mark, I must say...

I believe that all other os's speak your truth as example.
And, now, I have ways to intergrate them to colorforth.
But, I have those other os's to do those other things.

I'm a hobbiest, with only the education that I can gleen from the info
and other enthusiasts on the web. I would say that I'm a user.

Colorforth is already useful for people like me. 
It is a neat introduction to the inner workings of many areas of computing. 
6 or 8 years of ( not constant ) learning and returning has payed off in 
many areas of my education.

With colorForth, we have the oppertunity to push in an entirely new
direction, never before imagined.

Yes, I wanna realize your project, very much, in colorforth, now, 
today!. but...
I also wanna see just how creative you really are.
And you too, reader.
