Okay y'all, just had to share this as it emerges from my brilliance :-)

How many colorForthers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

colorForthers don't screw in lightbulbs.
First, the get a peice of tungstan together often using peices found
in old lightbulbs.
Then, they hold the ends of the tungstan up against the solder that
accumulates around the socket contacts and turn on the juice hopping
the tungstan will solder itself in place.

Sorry, had to.
Evermore

Of course, REAL minimalists wouldn't go to all that bother, light up a
candle and wonder why anybody ever got on the grid.

Dear Ray & all,

That leads me into a question I want to ask all.

...And then when when someone new stumbles on the colorForth lighting
approach, he reads that a couple of dozen people got their bulbs working
in different ways.  So he has a go, and after hours he finds it just
won't work.  When he asks he is kindly told that, of course, he needs a
vacuum too (doh) but many different vacuums are readily available on
obscure ftp sites...

OK, so I'm not a comedian!

But, I have found historical evidence of wikis for colorForth: Sleepless
Nights, Quartus, Kristopherjohnson.  Is there currently a working one? I
think there isn't :-(  I mean I have notes that I want to share and it
seems a waste just to keep my notebook to myself, but I don't want to
reproduce documentation others have already provided.

Thanks,
Jason
