I'd like to know if there are implementations of Lisp or Logo for the Z88. I'd even be interested to know if there are BBC Basic implementations of either of these languages. I'd also like to know what kind of experiences people have had using the machine in airports and on airplanes after running it through the various x-ray machines and metal detectors. Has anyone had any problems with their Z88 after exposing it to such devices?

It's nice that turning it on is so easy. Andy Malis <malis@bbn.com> UUCP: {harvard,rutgers,uunet}!bbn!malis

I've had no problems with the Z88 itself (base unit + 128k card)
though I carry lots of electronic gear (ham equipment, battery packs,
etc.) so my luggage usually gets "personal attention" :-) I've also
used it on board several USAIR flights with no complaints...

ps. it wouldn't be too hard to implement FORTH on the z88, except for
the high risk of hard resets... has anyone tried it?
