That feeling when your first assembly programme ran was magical, it was so much faster than BASIC it felt unreal. One of the first assembly programmes I ever wrote just filled the first 256 characters of the screen with the letter 'A'. I expected it to print one character at a time till it was done, like the BASIC equivalent would but maybe a bit faster. When I ran my little bit of asm code the top of the screen instantly became 'A's before my finger had even left the return key, my brain couldn't quite wrap around what happened and I thought something went wrong, after a second I realised, no, assembly is just that fast compared to BASIC I was kinda stunned. Happy memories
