I have local copy of that in my fun directory :)

  I was 14 or 15 when I first read it. Learning C on PC to get ready for windows, Mac, ST and Amiga coding - first read I thought was serious and I was never going to be a real programmer.
  If you ask my colleagues they might say I’m still not ;-)

    Hehe, I am feeling sometimes like real programmer when I do disassembly of some old programs or games to hack stuff :)
    Reading opcodes, binary patching.. Hard stuff, when you fight for few bytes to do jmp to add extra little functionality or fix a bug.

      Yeah. My first disassembly to bypass license check in a game by checking for “license found true” to “license found false” was a bewitching drug it was also like Prometheus stealing fire. Yes I know. But to a 12 year old with a $2/week allowance with games costing $35. A few indulgences was gonna be ok.
