That sounds interesting.

I thought x86 assembly was alright.  I think my assembly classes in college
taught x86 because Intel x86 is very common in the marketplace for business &
home computers.  They would adjust their curriculum so that students would have
the most marketable job skills according to what the job market was looking
for.
