I started assembly language with the old Z-80processor,remember DOS, the Radio Shack "Trash 80" member that Helicopter game I think istillhave somewhere on a 5x5 floppy,hah!
well I guess this dates me a little but by no means do I know a whole lot, just enough to get my settings screwed up, I do remember learning the BINARY system and OCTAL(8) along with the DECI(base 10) obviously.... Hexadecimal was fun,I had to learn to pass my prcessors class,years ago, but I haven't messed with that stuff in years but sure would like to know a link to a free hex-editor converter if there is such a thing?

Relyt that sounds like the way i used to do things back in the DOS days, nevertheless very effective, grin, I still love BASIC and DOS, its been awhile so for now just trying to hone my skills in on this XP system . I am debating what firewall to BUY, going to read the suggested layered securities posts, etc,etc,..

Thanks!
