I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
AT&T syntax makes more sense and is easier than Intel.
YES, I did start on Intel (a few _years_ before using AT&T syntax,
actually.)
If you know ASM, it shouldn't take more than a day or two to get the
basics, and after a week you shouldn't have any problems (unless you use
_really_ cryptic code).
I don't mean to rant at people, especially those having trouble, but I
wish they would give something a try before complaining that they won't
or it's too hard or they can't believe it or whatever.
