COGSWELL doesn't want us anywhere in their parking lot.  Togo's hasn't been 
asked and might tow cars.

Lunch - Ting is intending to cater a picnic at DigiBarn. His plan is to 
cook some hot chili beans with hotdogs and some bread - enough to feed 20 
people. You are welcome to bring your own grub.
Parking for 15 cars is available at DigiBarn.

Coming Attractions:

In May, we hope to have news from AMR about their Ethernet-enabled 
Gadget.  How about some ColorFORTH?  TCL, anybody?
In June, I hope to get Mosaic.  They still use the "F-word" on their web 
site.
Is anyone interested in getting National Instruments to come and talk?
How about a meeting and tour at the Computer History Museum at the new 
digs?  Or is that Forth Day Fodder?
How about we take a month or two off in the summer?

There are two very interesting talks coming up at the Computer History 
Museum (or Antique-Geek Warehouse?).
