Hey ! I remember a demo of GraForth showing a 3D rotating cube (maybe 
color filled) - Not that bad for the only mhz of my Apple IIc (no I 
didn't had that wonderful II+, I was a little late)

Did you used any cross compilation systems to code GraForth or 
AppleWriter ? (you know that kind of systems that most early 80s teen 
geek dreamed to have an access onto)
