I just discovered that Leo Brodie's Starting FORTH, one of the great language tutorials from the early eighties is now available online.

I remember the excitement of reading half this book on a long bus ride. FORTH was a lot of fun back in the Z80 days (6502 for others). I keep wondering if there is something I need in FORTH that would allow me to use it again!
For those interested, there are a couple of good looking FORTH's mentioned elsewhere in the Puppy forum, and locatable via scroogle, BigFORTH and Reva are the ones I'd like to try.
My problem is trying to think what to do with it.
