I remember going to a class at Embedded Systems Conference that showed how to implement a COM interface in assembly on a microcontroller. Was cool, but I had no use for that, although we were using COM/DCOM at the higher levels.

That sounds cool, though. Seeing protocols/formats/algorithms laid bare in assembly code makes them comprehensible in a way that I don't get from high level language implementations, where I have to either be content in just hand-waving away understand any "sugar" the language itself implements, or also having to understand the language's contrivances on top of whatever the core thing is I'm trying to understand.
