•Never read a book about Intel assembly language that uses AX, BX, etc. in examples throughout the text (prehisto’ric text).
•Unfortunately almost all Intel assembly language textbooks are prehistoric.
•I remember 5 years ago I met a guy who was interviewed for a job in Intel. They asked him about assembly language. The guy started talking about AX, BX, etc. No wonder he wasn’t hired. (Probably similar to being enthusiastic about Java and Solaris during Microsoft interview).
