Each to their own. I do agree that if you knew C and went to java then learning java would be a doddle but i'd just hate to have learn C without any programming knowledge.

It's perfectly doable. My dad had to learn machine language as his first programming language...
British pronunciation FTW!

I honor you father. I have just been doing 8086 assembly and that was very very hard.
I am British! Confusion.

8086 isn't a particularly well designed assembly. It's a really messy 16bit extension to an extension of an 8bit original. The memory model in particular is just crazy. It was the commodification of PCs that led to the popularity of the x86 and the deep pockets of Intel that allowed it to keep pace in processing terms, not any design advantages. And it doesn't really matter now, as long as the chips are fast and reasonably cool and have good compilers.
Maybe you're British but not speaking RP? pohtaytoe possibly lengthens the first o a bit too much, but otherwise sounds good to me...
