Anyone out there have opinions about writing programs in 6502 assembly
language vs. Basic?  I hated 6502 at first but now that I'm getting
into it I like it.  I write my programs in Basic first to make sure
they work and then convert to 6502.  

I agree that it isn't as nice as high level languages.  The 6502 is
very limited in fact as to num. of instructions.  However, any program
written in assembly language will run a lot faster than Basic.  It will
run faster than Forth or Pascal too.  Now that I think about it, I can't
understand why anyone would want a program that wasn't written in
assembly language.

Now that I've said that, let's see what happens.
