Thanks for the Forums

Dave Matthews

As a Propeller user, I am grateful for the Propeller forum. Usually a simple search will turn up information regarding the questions I have and solutions to the programming problems I am having. When I do need to ask for help, there are many helpful responses, snippets of code examples, and even complete demos posted to show how me how to go about working out the problem.

Every time I access the forum I am further educated, so much so that I -may- be finally able to understand this incredible processor. I started my programming life with FORTRAN in school, then with FORTH in a small embedded controller consultancy. Now it is the Propeller in Spin, very amazing.

So thanks Parallax for these forums, the OBEX, and of course the Propeller!

Seconded. I've learned a ton since I started participating in the forums. I started by hacking a blue Scribbler and now I am scratch building. The only downside of participating is I'm starting to have way too many robots.

Not even possible! (And great feedback Dave. We love your Band's music!)

Me too! It is amazing what you can learn.

Following a dabble in Fortran, Univac 418 (its a printer), etc, I cut my teeth on commercial assembler on a Freiden/Singer/ICL mini. Then when micros came out, assembler on 6800, etc, etc.
The Prop has to be the best micro I have ever had the pleasure to work with. No fat manuals just to get it running. A couple of instructions in spin or pasm and you have an LED flashing. On all those other micros you have to initialise a ton of registers just to get the chip to flash an LED. What a PITA.

BTW Dave. There's a Fortran programming job going at NASA. Be quick
