80386 rocks!

Im just studying 80386 processor protected mode n i think its the coolest piece of machinery!The developments frm 286 to 386 are so amazing!Everything frm the segmentation,privileges,paging etc are completley diff frm the 286.Its like all the concepts v studied in 8086 were so useless.386 is such a no nonsense machine.Intel so totally rocks.Also Turly is the best book i have ever read in my entire life!Better than Tanenbaum,zacky or Gaonkar.I love MBS.Ne 386 protected mode fans,pls comment.

I don't know much about all this stuff, but i got really interested in microprocessor programming when i saw my friends enjoying that course thoroughly. I planned to take up that course even though it was not a part of my structure.. Unfortunately i couldn't take it, as there was a pre-requisite to that course. Anyway, IA-32 (i386 architectrure) rocks! Enjoy!!

By the way, I have an old Sinclair ZX Spectrum in working condition (in case if you are very curious about old age computers!)

Im very fortunate in that respect.I have actually worked on a dos machine in real mode using assembly lang n i loved it!dos is such a simple os.I can actually picture the 8086 workin wen i pgm in assembly.Old age computers are so bloody simple yet so efficient n whatever they do.No fancy GUIs or nething but they do what they r meant to do.

I too like microprogramming.. but didnt learn this particular 80386. goodness... u r a studious girl?? :o
