   Really ? 

   I started on assembly language with the 6502 in my VIC-20
   and then did a lot on the origninal IBM-PCs because the
   original system lacked a lot of options. Now I do PIC chips.

   Never ONCE did I feel inclined to organize things in stacks.
   Memory-mapped, always. It's the human way.

   Time to change then ...

   FORTH is a old-tyme leftover from when memory was a
   small and precious resource. It has no place today -
   not even on PIC chips with their limited resources.
