Re: No action on the Z80? Who says? :)

I like it.  A simple ROM-stored compiler may keep software dealers from 
hiding the versatility of computing from users as if programming were an 
esoteric privilege.  Jessica Mayo, I'm sure you're right about the C64.  In 
what other ways might we immitate the release of popularization of PC's to 
consumers as we attempt to popularize wearables for consumers? More ideas?

 C64, VIC20, IBM PC, TI99/4A, TRS-80 series, TRS-80 Model
 100 laptop (still useful and classic, even today), Timex Sinclair, etc.

 Why they don't include a simple BASIC in Palms is beyond me.
