Today I've tested a freeware from him. In the instructions page he made these statements: "All of my programs are so small and so fast because I write only in the one, true, computer language: Assembly Language. All other languages reduce to assembly language, but they lose a lot in the translation. (Judge for yourself.)" "People who can't program in assembly language (just about everyone) get really annoyed with me when I talk about how much better it is than their pet language. But it's not my fault if they just say they care about quality." My blood is boiling. I want only to share to cool me a little down. -- ---------------------- Jano 402450@cepsz.unizar.es ----------------------
