I just think it's amazing to, you know, spend a day coding, and finally seeing
your work appear before you on the screen, with your programming directly
tweeking the memory-mapped I/O locations of the screen, disk latches, the
peripheral cards, the memory, the zeropage.  I don't know, maybe it's just me
but I think tweaking that stuff is pretty cool, and I'd be hard pressed to
mention ANY system that you can buy today that you can gain the same direct
hardware access as in the old systems.  These kids today, they don't know what
they're missing..

......and if you're wondering, I'm 23 now.  I started out on computers when my
parents bought me a Mattel Aquarius (which I still have!) when I was 6.  I got
my first IIc when I was 7, and I wish I had gotten into assembly at that point.
 My 6502 is rather new, but I've come pretty far in the year that I've started
learning, and I wish I learned this a whole lot sooner..
