Ok guys, don't get me firing up a tutorial.  I've only written about 
10 million lines of code since I was 15 (being almost 40 now) and I 
assure you that Hex is not new to me, and I use it a lot.  However, I 
also use decimal and binary where they are ideal.  When I talk to 
people who use NOTHING but Hex, it drives ME nuts as well.  Being 
that most coders are fierce in their own ways, I'd say it's a losing 
battle making me change at this point in my life.  Look at what I've 
produced (and I realize you don't have time to do this since we are 
equally as busy with our projects) and you'd see that it doesn't make 
a hoot of difference if I use some decimal values in my source code 
or not.  P.S.  *everything* makes sense to me, but I like to look at 
things from $04 or sometimes %101 different angles and not have just 
one way of thinking.

* hex, ideal
  ldx #$400
a@ clr ,x+
  cmpx #$600
  blo a@

* hex, not ideal
  ldb #12  just a simple counter
a@ nop
  decb
  bne a@
