I ran into some comp sci graduates in the early 80's who did not know what a "register" was.
replyTo be fair, though, I come up short on a lot of things comp sci graduates know.
It's why Andrei Alexandrescu and I made a good team. I was the engineer, and he the scientist. The yin and the yang, so to speak.
Oooh, saw Andrei's name pop up and remember his books on C++ back in the day .. ran into a systems engineer a while ago that asked why during a tech review asked why some data size wasn't 1000 instead of 1024.. like err ??
