IBM 1130: The First Forth Computer - Carl
Claunch
Carl will tell us a little bit about the IBM 1130, the computer
which played host to the very first version of Forth. We'll discuss the
possibility of making IBM 1130 FIG-Forth, or another implementation, since Carl
has a machine on which to run it.

Kestrel-2DX Progress Update and Kestrel-3 Vision-
Samuel A. Falvo II
"I'll give an update on my Kestrel-2DX project,
which as I type this, is 'almost done.' I just need to finish the Forth
compiler and add programmable timer support, but I think for the most part, it
is finished. I will demonstrate what I have done, to the greatest extent that I
can. I will also talk about my future plans for the Kestrel-3."
