Re: A86: Re: TI's ROM Sux
Where are you getting these times? z80time.txt is found on Dux's site.
JR: Asm Studio = 12/1, z80time.txt = 12/7
JP: Asm Studio = 10/1, z80time.txt = 10/1
Just because all the guys at TI have degrees doesn't mean they can program
better than us. Programming is more of an art than a science. John
Carmack of id Software and probably everyone else there don't (I think)
have a degree, where as everyone at Microsoft does. And this makes
Microsoft better than id Software? (let's not start an entire thread on id
vs. MS)
