 -> The article *Typing Your Data* by Gary W. Sims starts off saying
 -> "Have  you ever heard a spreadsheet played through a digital stereo?
 -> As crazy  as this might seem it could happen to you if your data is
 -> not properly  typed." . This is a danger I had not previously
 -> considered, but, obviously, the  risk is so great that I dare not
 -> continue to use Forth.  I am  immediately switching to Ada and
 -> suggest you do the same before it is  too late. . -- Frank

    And I'm sure not going to use a spreadsheet while the stereo is
 running, anymore!
