And to do either one, you must understand how a computer works.  That's
why I think assembly language programming is so important.  I was lucky
enough o have written a few languages and a couple of operating systems
in my early years, and that's what allows me to continue to be
successful today.  A new language?  Just another syntax.  A new
programming technology?  Hey, it's still ones and zeros.

RPG might be great, Java might be excellent, OO might be wonderful, SQL
might be super, but in the end it's all assembly language.
