Programming in assembly is for the people who has a love for processors and their instruction sets. Not because you want todo hacking. Oh well.. if that is all you want todo feel free to go ahead. But the road to assembly is long and hard. Can you stick with it?

This board is entirely about hacking in the sense of your second paragraph. Hacking is to know the machine and its software to such an extent that you can give the machine capabilities beyond the mundane, or that your skills are such that you can resolve problems that others cannot completely understand.

BTW, thanks for the links. Incidentally, I started on the software side of things by programming self test diagnotics into ROM for circuit cards. All this was done in assembly of course, just not Intel assembly. And of course there was no such thing as Windows. So while the learning curve is long (including the Win32 API) I do at least have the basics.
