so, the idea is: on a c64 (or speccy, etc. 1980s) you run one program at a time, and THAT PROGRAM CONTROLS THE ENTIRE MACHINE and all memory, you see

you didn't expect to run multiple programs at 1 time on a c64. as soon as you do: you do't want anybody else to mess with your own program (you can stlill do this! but it's complicated.)

DEP is to stop you fucking with other people's code (and even your own sometimes, because it's a way to make viruses)

the RAM of today doesnt work like c64 RAM anymore. I bet.

Data Execution Prevention - that sounds so limiting? But yeah. you cannot poke into 32GB or memory you could. but even 64kb is overwhelming

i've never written any "real" large program in asm. but i can read it -- very slowwwww. it's the same deal like BASIC, except less manners. for example jump (as you say JMP i guess) is like a GOTO or GOSUB. and you have registers instead of variables
