    I have an old IBM AT running a home automation/energy monitor system. It has the 5.25. dual DS/DD and a 5.25 1.2 MB floppy. This was the top media density until IBM started the PS2 line and the 3.5 diskette 1.44 MB media. and was accompanied with the new 80386/387 chipsets. Dos was up to 4.01 until the inclusion of the coprocessor on the same substrate as the processor and needed DOS 5.0.

    I had the same computer system, tapes and all. Small black and white tv for monitor. They did have a floppy drive but it was very expensive at that time. If you wanted something that you had stored on a tape, you had to go through the whole tape and if the volume wasn't set just right, you would have to do it again.
    It was the TRS 80 color computer 64K I believe. Yes it is funny how technology has changed and the modem thing was very annoying.
    Never at that time would have dreamed of computers the way that they are now let alone the way the internet has changed and the vast speed of the computers now.
    Same thing with the old video games. I remember the old two bars and square ball and now to watch my son play that xbox 360 live on tv was just so unthought of back in my day. A big step up from the pac man that most of us were raised on and a lot more money also.

    Depends in what respect:


    • Mario is a lot more famous worldwide
    • Sonic is a lot faster than Mario
    • Mario has more strength than Sonic
    • Sonic can cut through almost anything when he's spinning

    You can have a fight between Mario + Sonic on Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

    Overall, they are both heroes in their own games. In my opinion, Mario is better. Sonic is just faster, but Mario saves Princess Peach from the trouble she gets into numerous times. Sonic cannot compare to that. Sonic has done some good deeds, but he has not compared to Mario's heroic actions

    I recommend using NASM as your first assembler, because it is open source and cross platform (works in Windows, Linux, and even Mac OS X)

     

    Now, that you wrote a primitive "Hello world" bootloader, search for more complex examples. Don't worry if you find them in a slightly different syntax (MASM, FASM, etc). It is more important to get the very idea and implement it yourself. If you don't succeed at first, StackOverflow or Daniweb will help you:)

     

    Also, if you find yourself to like NASM, here is a great book to look at: Assembly Language: Step-by-step.

    I use it to look for jobs, find things that make me laugh, solve problems, keep in contact via email. I use Yahoo answers to learn and help others learn. I learn by doing research to answer someone's question and never forget what I've learned and in turn I provide the asker with the information they need. I check the weather and read the news. Watch music videos and download free movies. The great thing about computers is that they can and will do anything you ask without judgment. You can modify and tweak them to your hearts content (unless it's a mac.. I have to agree with the other person in that aspect LOL)
