As an assembly language programmer of some 29 years experience (not to 
mention some 31 years experience of electronics....I started young) I agree 
with that in spades!

The last time I had a job as an assembly language programmer was 16 years 
ago, and even then those types of jobs were damn thin on the ground (now 
they're non-existant) - since every idiot these days seems to think "C" is 
the way to go....which it isn't.... :-(
