             It seems as if most of the people showing up at the monthly
Silicon Valley FIG meeting are mid 40's-mid 50's with one or two younger
folks at most meetings. The group has dwindled in size, mostly around 30
people depending on time of year.
             In a world where the clueless pointy-haired bosses are
implementing systems (PC and embedded) with Windows (XP and whatever they
are calling the embedded product formerly CE - new name, same huge footprint
and long list of known bugs) my hopes of Forth establishing a substantial
market share have also dwindled.
             Anyone with ideas for promoting the use of Forth should speak
up now. The Forth Interest Group is crying out for your ideas, energy and
enthusiasm. We're a bit off-topic so just email me directly if you want to
discuss this further.
