Jasmin Without Jasmin

Jasmin is a simulator that is very helpful for students learning assembly language.

It's a wonderful educational tool, but it has a political defect: the splash screen shows a partially undressed woman:

I don't imagine the developers meant to offend or harm anyone, but I think they are Europeans and don't understand American attitudes towards sex. I can't blame them--I don't really understand them myself either.

However, it is a politial reality that some colleges have problems using a product that looks like that.

So, in the spirit of Garfield Minus Garfield, I present Jasmin Without Jasmin.

Now it has flowers instead, grown and photographed by my friend Sue, who is an award-winning Dahlia grower:

Live Free or Die

Some people may feel that I am giving in to the Man, censoring free speech, and obeying the dictates of a cruel overlord which is crushing the life out of us all; turning my students into soulless slaves of the military-industrial complex.

Basically, yes. I am.

My goal is not to foster rebellion, but rather to create miserable, conformist wage slaves who know assembler better.
