I just keyed in the game of life as listed in this month's DDJ.  When I first
tried it out there were some problems due to accesses of the regen buffer
without first checking the status nibble.  I put in the code to make the check
which eliminated most of the noise from the screen but there is still some
left on the left side of the screen.  Is this unavoidable or is there some way
to get rid of ALL the noise?
