sounded pretty gross anyway to be fair

I've had to eat the sugar free chocolate bar that they were giving away at the same time.

Oh yes, I remember, it was after spending 10 months fixing obsolete MC6809 fruitmachine logic boards.

Long ago I worked on Teletext transmission systems using FORTH and 6809 assembly language...

There are some things that sound nasty that are actually really quite nice.



Can you see where this is going??

Yes, I can see but I am still not going to do it....

[cailin maith]

Very wise...

Thanks

Didn't the 6809 have two stacks?

A user stack and a system stack.

Correct.

It made it a very good processor for running FORTH, whose architectural model includes a parameter stack (== user stack) and a return stack (== processor/system stack).

Of course 16 bit processors came along, and that was the end of that

I implemented Forth on the 68000 (Atari ST) once... very easy with all those registers

I can't be bothered with this working stuff.... and I can't mutitask either.....

[cailin maith]

But I thought you were a girlie, Barry, girlie's can multitask like there's no tomorrow...

Not this one....

The stuff I need to do is impossible.

There is no way to do it. I'm not saying that I can't do it, I'm saying that it can't be done.

Unless I make a totally unreasonable assumption, which will pass testing but not work in the real-world.

Hmmmm
