For more information on Forth CPU's, see the August issue of Microprocessor
Report.  This is a newsletter for which a sample issue may be requested
from mslater@cup.portal.com (that's how I got my copy).  The August issue
has an article which covers the RTX2000, RTX2001, and SC32 (from Silicon
Composers, Palo Alto CA).

I'm pretty impressed with this newsletter.  The content is extremely compact,
i.e. lots of information with essentially no hype.

WRT to the posting on "Bandwidth Wasters", I assume the original author had
his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek.  The only danger I see from his
posting is that it might encourage competition for the top slots.  (As I
write this, I have to sit on my hands to keep from blurting out some
gnawing questions about old DEC machines :-)
