[Coco] CoCo Talk #7 "For Beginners" Saturday, May 6th @ 2:00 PM EST

[D. Bruce Moore]

It's Jacobs 10th birthday party during the talk, but I think him and friends will be playing minecraft so I hope to attend and ask a beginner Assembly (ASM) question. I used to know a bit, but it's mostly slipped from my head
