	In the discussion on the whys and wherefores of the high
price of Forth chips, we erroneously stated that there were only
100 SC32 Forth chips in existence.

	We are informed by People Who Know Better that this assertion
is totally erroneous, that the quantity of SC32 chips foundried and
tested is actually much greater. We therefore wish to retract our
previous statement as not only incorrect, but prejudicial to the Noble
Cause of Forth to have such misinformation floating around where boob
journalists can use it to run Forth down.

	Those wishing to measure the viability of the Stack Chip
Architecture are advised to do so by putting their finger on one of
the many Pulse Points of that industry, such as Silicon Composers
on California Avenue in Palo Alto, CA; or Harris Semiconductor,
in Melbourne, FL; or George Shaw and Chuck Moore of the SHBOOM effort.
