For what I'm doing, they're going to be reasonably up to date.
But what's getting me is the stuff that *really* doesn't matter, like
shaving a couple of bytes off of variable names, and agonizing over
something that will take a millisecond or less when someone touches a
key . . .
An 8080 processed, at best, a couple of hundred thousand instructions
a second, and accessed, at most, 2 million bytes a second.
I get billions of multi-byte words a second . . .
Well that is rather the same as my being extremely mean when removing
the core of a green pepper,
cutting as near to the stem as possible, because at one time in my life
I was really living on the edge,
financially (when I was in the USA); while now I can both afoord lots of
green peppers and live in
a country where they are super abundant.
