The concept of assembly without pointers bemuses me.

I don't "get" what's so hard about pointers. All data is stored in the 
computer's memory. The memory is a vast grid of numbered cells. Each 
cell's number is called an "address". A "pointer" is simply something 
that holds the address of something else - it "points to" something. The 
End.

Now, pointers and typecasting... scary stuff!
