<TRWBW> thermoplyae: unasked for advice: for assembler best to start with a working program, maybe a single NOP, then change it to another working program. it's a circuitous path, but it gets you steadily to where you want to go.
<thermoplyae> trwbw: i agree that that's an intelligent way to write any program, but that's not really how the assignment was designed
<TRWBW> well, at least its not a hardware course where you have to debug your code with an oscilloscope and a logic probe

<thermoplyae> alright, infinite loop!
