About why I am self-learning the 8085 Processor.

This post is just to tell you that I am taking some futile efforts to learn what the 8085 processor is all about. But why am I doing so? To anyone this might make you react towards saying "Are you crazy?".

Probably I am. But that is not the point.
My first love with programming languages was C++. I studied c++ in my 11 & 12 stds. But this was when I had no computer at home. I brought a computer when I was doing 3rd semester civil engineering, in college. Thats when I had this insatiable desire to explore c++. BUt why? This journey I took had made me realise that I actually loved computers and would then decide to seek a career in that field.

My belief is that understading this architecture and other architectures of microprocessors as well as micorcontrollers might make me one day solve the problem I have in mind: how to make a custom colour in c++?

I know this much: that there is some way of communicating to the machine to perform such a thing. And now the task is finding out how...which is why I am learning micropocessors. I know that anything could happen; I might even forsake learning. Yet however I am quite keen on currently taking this path. Its not learning the 8085 architecture...its about how I learn it. This is where I know I have to start; this is one of the world's primitive microprocessors. Learning the assembly language is also something I have to expect. In the process I guess I have to find out which processor/controller lies inside my system, and learn how to communicate to it.

And my road is long...
The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep
