	That's nuthin'! I've implemented the entire 'Star Wars' SDI
	Orbital Particle-Beam Weapon Master Firing Control System
	(SDIOPBWMFCS) on my KIM-1 in only 1K without using the 6502
	Programmer's Reference Card. I used the incredible KIM-1 HEX
	keypad to do it ('beats the hell out of "binary switches").
	You guys can keep your 'high-level' languages and your
	'binary switches', I'm a _REAL_ programmer.... :-)
