No!  No!  I won't do it.  Nope.  Won't do it.

Actually, the problem isn't the ability to learn how to use more than one
CPU.  The problem is that one of those CPUs was designed and built by Intel.
Those f-ing segment registers make my brain hurt!

Intel might make fast or reliable chips.  But they weren't designed by
anyone with experience with real assembly languages.  (Designers were probably
ex Z-80 or 6502 programmers.)

Yuck. -J
