    I was going to say, the sad thing is i actually know what that means.. i can still remember how to write a helloworld.com program using debug. Those were the days! I actually taught myself assembly language using Ralf Browns PC Interrupts book and debug. And then i upgraded to Issac's A86 and D86, yep.. those were fun... especially when i was doing TSR's and got the interrupt return vector wrong! :)
