When you make your 100'th Post

^^^ Not the most cheery milestone. Heh heh
Maybe on my millionth post it will be me bragging about hitting the Lotto? :)

Personally I like this "Miles-stone"! I wrote a lot of assembly code for my Atari on the 6502. I fondly recall a whole library of string handling subroutines in hand-assembled relocateable code, stuffed into short characters strings that I could call. Ahh, those were the days! :-)

Heh I was kinda thinking that too, it's a spinoff of our theme, but I recall snips that the 6502 was one of THE core cpu's in that early 80's growth spurt. Commodore was using it too. : )

I didn't get in on the Atari scene. But after basic I started messing around with 80x86 asm. MASM and TASM on the Leading Edge Model D XT clone. The big thing was writing directly to video memory. My first PC had the venerable Hercules Graphics Card in glorious amber on 12" monitor. I remember being tempted to get the 8086 replacement chip as my system only had the 8088. The chip was a 3rd party CMOS CPU but I forget the name of it(edit: NEC V20). I got 128KB of ram instead to max it out at 640KB.

We should start a poll. When f0dder hits eight 8s will DC still be here? :)

Erm...In order for him to hit 8 8's, DC would HAVE to be here lol
