R&R, Whats wrong with McMurdo? Net connection slower? Penguins not as cute?
1802 Emulator, Is it just a hex pad / led display toy? The 1802 sure is
a interesting architecture,
Not a classic cpu, almost a forth engine, but closer to the hardware
with the register file and
it's pc and acc selection regs. I think writing a compiler for that
thing would either make my brain
explode or become a 1802 convert. Thanks for the 1802 lead, I collect,
hack and play with emulators.
Cheers,

BTW: How's the weather? It's 20 F. and snow here, Not even on a warm
summer day?
It's been great! It's about -20F, light wind, sunny skies (24 hours a day).
We are sitting on 2 miles of snow, but we haven't had more than a few
millimeters all summer.
I'm off to McMurdo for a week of "R&R" (so they call it). Sigh... back
down to sea level... Classically speaking, I just grabbed a copy of
xelf - a multi-1802 emulator that was announced on the cosmacelf Yahoo
group this week. Looks pretty nice.
