This is true...  8-)  Back in the Good Old Days (tm) of my new Radio
Shack Color Computer (circa 1982), when I had no assembler, I used to
program it in hex (it used the superb 6809 8-bit processor).  Of course,
this only lasted until I wrote myself an assembler...  Amazing what you
used to be able to do in a 5K program...  <smile>
