Yeah, the 7080 was weird, but I never programmed one. The 650 was my first machine, and not one that I am fond of. My second machine, the 7070, was much more reasonable.

Amen. Speaking of old memories that should have been forgotten decades ago: Personally I would place 7080 architecture and op codes in that category. In my young mind, it was "strange." Possibly because I was never involved with a 650. Now days, remembering what I am supposed to do this afternoon can be a problem!
