Thanks man.  I knew there were good reasons why Basic was better than ASM
for math stuff.  Plus, I read on the list many people were saying that
ASM is better than Basic.  If nothing else, reason #3 wins hands down
every time, unless you are like me and have a laptop with you at all
times.  Although, I can't use it on a test.  So that kinds blows that
idea too.
