I should do more programming in Assembly. I should learn more about my
  *computer*, about my CPU. C is nice and it's my  favorite  programming
  language, but it hides all the interesting stuff from you.

  I  often  write "toy programs", like ratterplatter[1] or asciibrot[2].
  Maybe I should start writing such programs in Assembly language.  (One
  thing  I  don't  like about this is that it would make them a lot less
  portable. Hmm. But then again, who cares?)
