Amazing. I have wondered what you are doing. I did some of my most serious
programing after I figured out your (shall I say brilliant?) 6502 assembler.
I recall your FIG 6502 listing was a steady seller when Mountain View Press
handled Forth Dimensions and FIG sales.

I recall the local Palo Alto paper had your Stanford MBA team (I think)
winning an investment contest and I thought you would be off to CEO Land. I
have not heard much about folks from FIG since I moved to the Northwest and
Roy Martens passed away. I have heard from Glenn Haydon once in a blue moon.

Cheers,
Charlie Springer
