I bought them on a whim and they just lay around for years. I gave them away to someone who thought they were interesting. The assembly language he invented added very little to his work.

I dunno, I learned the newer one (MMIX) and it taught me so much about low level programming, honestly some of the best investments of time I ever made.

That being said, if you already know ASM/C then maybe it wouldn't be as useful.
