I started with the 6502 and when I started looking at 8080 code, it looked "odd". Just different from what I was used to. I moved to the 6809, lots of similarity to the 6502, and then the 68000, but didn't stick with it since that clearance Atari 520st had a fault that I never fully tracked down. I think one reason I didn't use Linux until 2001 was because I kept hoping to come across a used Mac that was good enough to run Linux, me wanting to stick with the 68000. That didn't happen, though after I bought a used 200MHz Pentium to run Linux in 2001, I soon found a very cheap Mac 6100 which had the RISC CPU in it and could run Linux, but I never got to that. Of course, by then it was really just habit, it's not like I've ever programmed anything in assembly language after the 6809. Michael
