Re: A89: Which is better?
m68K assembly might as well be heiroglyphics to me, but I do know Z80
assembly. And they told me I needed to learn C first and that it was oh
so much easier and all that, but when I tried learning them both, I
figured out the assembly long before I managed to figure out the C.
Some people actually find the assembly much easier.
