09:47:06	 From Dave Jaffe : I just remembered that Ward also developed an "operating system" using cassettes as storage. It was called CCOS for Cassette Operating System. I forgot if the first "C" was Chicago or CACHE, the name of the computer club. He distributed the software on a plastic record, encoded in modem tones. It had a primitive 8080 assembler and editor.
10:11:16	 From Kevin Appert, Program Chair : Reminds me of MIPPY, the Forth Engine built in 7400-series TTL
10:15:16	 From Brad Nelson : popcnt is still a popular opcode
10:21:59	 From Brad Nelson : I think a Forth that handles interrupts has to figure out how to stash the virtual CPU state same as any other architecture.
10:32:16	 From Dave Jaffe : I had a cassete-based APL
10:34:23	 From Dave Jaffe : and an APL daisy-wheel for my Diablo printer
10:54:40	 From Paul Durao : What is the book
10:54:44	 From Paul Durao : ?
10:57:02	 From Paul Durao : Does it have records structures like c or ranges like spreadsheets 

Sounds like it has sets ?
10:57:37	 From Bob Armstrong : Roger Hui
11:10:29	 From M Edward Borasky (@znmeb) : Speaking of APL and Forth, I just discovered this book last week:

Seven Obscure Languages in Seven Weeks

https://pragprog.com/titles/dzseven/seven-obscure-languages-in-seven-weeks/
11:11:12	 From Paul Durao : Does it have strings or symbols like lisp interning a symbol or forth 
Like sort phone book or grocery list ?
11:17:13	 From Chris (@UncensoerdNews) : Is there a link to these slides?
11:18:11	 From Dave Jaffe : There will be a link from Brad's slides posted on the SVFIG website after I post the link that he will provide me
11:23:13	 From Paul Durao : #demo
#mother 


Engelbart, Douglas

He demoed a royal family tree 


Could apl do this
11:40:01	 From Brad Nelson : https://github.com/chmykh/apl-life
11:45:33	 From Dave Jaffe : right!
11:46:09	 From Brad Nelson : https://flagxor.github.io/svfig-talks/svfig-2024-10-26/#0
11:49:35	 From Kevin Appert, Program Chair : I'm going to bail at noon,  Brad may stop recording at will.
11:49:44	 From Kevin Appert, Program Chair : Fare you well, all!
11:50:08	 From Kevin Appert, Program Chair : Remember Forth Day is the 16th, THIRD Saturday!
11:50:14	 From Brad Nelson : @Paul Durao APLs + CoSy have strings, I think K has symbols proper.
11:50:49	 From Kevin Appert, Program Chair : Email forther@comcast.net if you want to present!,  subject line should include "Forth Day"
11:51:01	 From Kevin Appert, Program Chair : I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,
12:01:06	 From Dave Jaffe : got to go
12:05:04	 From Brad Nelson : (⍳5)∘.=(⍳5) for 5x5
