    NOP is $EA, of course, and… um…

    …sorry, I’m just a Commodore 64 scrub, I don’t know nothing about this high and mighty Intel 8086 nonsense.

    [looking up]

    …it’s 0x90 on IA-32? WHAT? Someone told me every processor used 0xEA because that was commonly agreed and readily apparent. …guess I was wrong

      My daughter told me the other day, “I bet I could figure out a Commodore 64 if I had one.”

      Good luck figuring out LOAD “*”,8,1 by yourself, kid.

          She meant she could figure it out just playing around with it, not reading a manual or asking around. I told her she’d have to read a manual.

            Erm I might be showing my inexperience here.

            Is there no equivalent to man LOAD in the commodore world? Or even just help?

              That thing had 16K of ROM. Every byte was sacred. Only manual was on paper.

          I can’t tell if you’re joking and deliberately invoking the original comic above

        With the ubiquity of C64 emulators, that’s easy enough to demonstrate by experiment

      I thought NOP was 0x90. Edit: oh I just read the rest of the comment.
