Heh. I remember going through Commodore's old Intro to Basic series, getting thoroughly fed up, and firing up a machine code monitor instead. Discovered different 6502 opcodes by resetting games & disassembling them. Was in 7th Heaven when I finally got a Programmers Reference Guide & discovered what the opcodes actually meant ;)

hehe, way cool. I wasnt good enough to do that then.. But I got into asm (kinda) a year or two ago by playing with softice on the PC. I really need to start coding properly.. But I dropped out of college and thus have no maths knowledge other than 1+1 eq 10. I've been playing with masm lately, but frankyl suck at it.

Ho hum. Maybe I can make a living making enourmously powerful Beowulf clusters and selling them :D
