[SGVLUG] April Presentation Online

[Claude Felizardo]

Braddock,

I really enjoyed your presentation especially as I still have a
fondness for 8-bit computing which is where I started with both a
Rockwell AIM-65 and an Atari 800.  In fact,I even played with Forth
controlling some simple hardware years ago so your email really caught
my attention when you mentioned Forth.  How do you plan to make use of
it?

I'm going to forward your email to a couple of people who might have some leads.
