Comment on The demise of the low level programmer

Spoiled kid ;-)

When I got my first job I had to deal with BASIC in ROM and 6502 assembly. Aztec C on the Apple II was very slow and it wasn't possible to tap the faster routines in ROM because it messed up page zero completely.

Still, I can't complain. I loved the 6502 and the routines built into the Apple II+ ROM were incredibly efficient.
