I was learning MASM for a few years then switched to Linux and gave up.  I wrote a few cool programs in it, but I can't say I really have a good working knowledge in x86 assembly.  Do you?

7
push
ax
pop

I think my favorite part of the language is getting to type "pop" all the time.     *POP!*  Hehe.

If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, just vote "No."

I know fine well what you are talking about, but I don't speak it.

Right now I have a "WTF" face.

Yeah, I wish I learned C instead.  All assembly is good for is cracking copy protected programs.

No, I do speak "computer geek."

AS far as software goes, I don't know terribly much programming, I know a hell of alot about the theory of it, but not the actual usage of it, but i did learn a lot of visual basic in high school...

God.
ASM kicked my ass on the TI calculators.
I finally gave up, and started learning C and C++.
Wayy better.

They have a different processor so it might have been more difficult than x86 assembly.  TI-Basic is fun!  Do you write C programs for the TI?

I haven't yet.
Although, I have some downloaded, so if I ever get bored I might just edit the source.

I'll study it next sem. My friend teaches assembly programming and I have arranged it with her so I can sit in her class.
