Great story Forthman.Forthman wrote:I was married in 1977. Got married after I had spent 8 months on the rode just kicking around the country. Stopped by the GM plant when i saw a line in front of the hiring office. Got a job in the foundry in Pontiac Mich. lasted 6 months. Worked in a fastener plant and got laid off and bought the little computer.
I wrote almost all my programs in Forth. Yes the language. My partner nick named me Forthman. We did micro processing consulting to GM, Ford and tool and die shops around Detroit.
I have dug out a couple of the old little machines. Have one that comes alive.
Like to find the game Dictator. My brothers and i loved to play that game.
Dictator for the ZX81 can be found here in P file format for emulator use.

If you are not familiar with emulation just shout out and will happily run through it with you.
