Frank ... I got gray hair too!
Anyway, in context, my comment that "April renewal annoys
hell out of members" was meant to apply to NEW members, which was
the topic at hand, i.e., where the heck are they.
I rarely meet or talk to a NEW member who isn't ticked off that
they have to pay a retroactive membership.
The other part of my comment, perhaps even more significant,
was that "April-based memberships encourage deluded financial planning"
or something like that. You talk to FIG and they say, "well, only
this many signed up so far, but later in the year more will renew."
Maybe, pal, maybe not ... :-)

I'm 15, and I like Forth. I can't find a good Forth system locally (all the BBS's have is F83 from 1984) but I have read both editions of Starting Forth. I want to do some coding. I do my share of QuickBASIC work, but I really would like to have QuickForth (ha ha ha ha). What's the best PD Forth out there for an 8088 on its last legs. I've heard F-PC is good.

FF>"younger generation." Of course $30 is not a major barrier to
professionals
FF>working in Forth who already understand the value of Forth.
Maybe FIG should consider a student membership rate, say
$15/yr. A lot of academic societies and publications
do that with some success in recruiting new people to
their particular specialties.
