Now let he without sin cast the first stone, but if you had wasted your time like that, then maybe, just maybe you would understand.


Welcome to Amiga.org!  It feels good to know that I, too, have suffered the shame of an engineer of your caliber.  Damn fine story, and damn fine work, Sir.  Thank you for both.

My first memory of such a time was spending four -- or was it six? -- frustrating hours (with some breaks, mind you) on a small 6502 routine, recoding, writing, scribbling, cussing, maybe even crying at one point, only to find that my whole problem was caused by an innocent looking BEQ which should have been a BNE.  How the Hell did I miss that?  Not only shameful, but it should have been a red flag and notice to pursue a career which did not involve troubleshooting, as there have been a few, more entertaining, occurrences since.

Somebody working on this?  I do not have a wp account.... :roflmao:
