Gregg,

      I pre-date them that toys.  I did a lot of time on Sigma-9s and
UNIVAC 1100s...

      Though I *have* done terminal enemalators for MS-DOS (in TASM) so I
have some experience doing assembler language.

      Additionally, never forget the C combines the power of assembly
language with the ease of use of assembly language.

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
(I won't state the obvious.)
John you've just pointed out the reason why I don't like that family
of machines, and its descendants. Also COBOL for the same reason.

As for Assembler, I do. It turns out I became very good at it, during
the 8086, and 80286 days. Wrote code that could solve many a problem,
that refused to be solved, in a higher level language, example Pascal.
Who here recalls the Borland family of products from that age?
