 To really get a Forth PC off the ground would require a well-established
 backer, if nothing else for the prestige. I think the days of Apple
 Computers built in a garage being successful are over.

 Either that or someone with a big dream and a lot of patiece. I'd even
 consider doing it except I don't have the technical expertise to design
 such a thing.

 What do you think? Anybody want to approach IBM about the idea?
