For the last time, I am NOT going to use $9D95 in my early ASM lessons

Hmmm, you have a point, because when people ask for help it is easier for people they ask to see $9D95.  I think I'll make a note of that in Tutorial 4

SirCmpwn:
These tutorials are yours, and you are free to do what you want.  However, my opinion is that decimal has little place in assembly, and no place whatsoever when referring to addresses.  Do what you like with your tutorials, but the standard is hexadecimal.

KermMartian:
I've had several users ask me for help, and be confused that I wrote .org $9d95, and mention that they also saw the $9D95 in lots of example code and don't understand it.  I would definitely advise that, although as you said, if you don't want to change your tutorials, that's your perogative.

Hot_Dog:
By the way, thank you all for your comments and for listening to my side of the story, and I apologize if I offended anyone

Juju:
Well, I suggest to begin with .org 40339, then explaining thing about the 40339 byte, then switch to hex, explaining everyone uses hex because it's easier, while explaining hex, then never talk of the decimal form again.
