Z80! Haven't heard that for almost 40 years, I used to write assembler for that, too.
You know this really means we are all a bunch of old farts!

I have that book in the shelf myself. A shame that all that pedal to the metal assembly code has been replaced by hard wired logic in some graphics processor since then. But things have been that way all along. Turns out that even my first computer kindof raced the electron beam, but it was automated via interrupts and DMA so all I had to learn was how to set up an interrupt routine and had not to worry about how to put pixels on the screen anymore.
The computer's design goes back to 1976. At that time having graphics at all were a complicated and expensive affair, so usually little single board computer kits did not have any at all. To make it not only affordable, but also relatively uncomplicated to use was a small wonder.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I may have to build myself an MS-Dos (Circa 1995) computer, just so I can do some nostalgic programming again.
I do still have a set of Masm32 disks somewhere

Cheers, I hope someone solves it as we're becoming a monopoly again - I think it's largely the time difference - how's Mrs Griff ? sounded like a very nasty break to me.

Herself is getting more sleep, which indicates that it's getting better, albeit slowly.
I emailed you a pic.

Great, now I have Do Ra Me stuck in my head.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.
