Come on, Henry; say something nice about *something* just once, huh?
At least this chip isn't made by Intel, so that should please you.  It
does, however, use 64K segments, sort of.  -Sigh-  I guess you can't 
please some of the people all of the time.

(Aside...)

Hey, Forth Freaks -- let's try and develop a suitable punishment for
the first idiot who builds a machine using the Novix chip that is
"IBM PC Compatible."  Boiling in lard?  24-pin DIPs under the finger-
nails?  Walking on hot glowing heat-sinks?  Send in your suggestions
today!    { .25[ :-)] }
