I used to write 6502 in my head while riding my bike to school, 
then write it out, do up a poke statement to jam it into RAM, and 
most of the time it worked first try. I was so impressed with 
myself.

I read somewhere recently that syntax highlighting is considered 
a distraction, so you're not the only one. I use it mainly as a 
spellchecker. If it lights up, I know I spelled it right! :)

And I thought Atom had overhead! :) I do hope you know I'm 
kidding. I have been working up to installing Linux on something 
around here, too. And FreeBSD. I'm seriously short of hardware 
and space to set up other machines ATM, so it's going to have to 
wait.
