This is completely untrue. I'm only 13 and I understand memory addressing in DJGPP and
this knowledge has been invaluable in my graphics programs. Saying something "memory in
DJGGP is something you don't really need to know" is like saying "well, you can use the
toaster, but you don't really need to know how to push the button or turn the dial".  Bad
analogy, i know, but it gets the point accross :-)
