Therefore, I made the jump from BASIC to assembly language

Reminds me of my own beginnings. The CPU available was a Z80, and there was no other documentation than an instruction list. I've wondered somehow why on earth some registers are named "reasonably" like AX, and other "strangely" like SP, but well, what the heck. So I've created my own first program, dumped it in hexadecimal into a Video Genie 3003.... and of course, seen it crash spectacularly, for I've stored data into SP in a completely haphazard way :)


Oh, those were the days. To use a punch card once again....

Sorry for an utter OT!

As for the original topic, I think we can agree completely :)
