I am learning z80 asm atm. I think I wont gonna learn others between now and ~3 years :P

I probably won't learn anything else rather than Z80 and x86, since I'm a high-level guy :D

Does anybody else know MOS 6502 Assembly?  Until you start to learn 6502, you don't know how much you take HL for granted.

I've learned it, but never written anything in it. Yeah, it's kind of tough only having three 8-bit registers (plus 8-bit stack pointer and flags registers)

I'd say in a way it can be easier - you don't have to think as much about what data you should put in registers vs. memory, or which register to put something in, since you don't get much of a choice.

It can be cumbersome to store all of your 16 bit pointers to ram, though. 
On the other hand, the 6502 takes less T-States per instruction.  (Then again, you have to make more ram stores/reads.)

I also should learn x86.  I don't really know what to do with the extra 24 bits, though. :P

Though the 6502 had less t-states per instruction, it was usually at a lower clock speed than the z80, anyway.

When would you ever use more than 16 bits in a number, right? ;)

All the time :P
