Review # 1 was written on 2010-09-11 00:00:00 Michael Portnoy I hated this book when I first saw it (having borrowed from my dad, I think). It seemed so dense at the time, and every little example so convoluted and impenetrable. Looking at it now, I have to laugh. The book covers 80x86 assembly, and the complexity was all in the chip, of course—Wyatt actually did a perfectly fine job of documenting it. After working almost exclusively on the 6502, though, I wasn't buying into 'int' calls to system routines with backward addresses that could have 65,535 aliases. Ah, the 80s. How quaint.
