It's like counting with two fingers: zero, one, two.
Yeah well kinda but there aer 8 bits to a byte and the position of the


one or zero in the 8 bit string is significant, but this has nothing
to do with what alt.binaries is about and if Dolan wnt to know more
than what Tom Sherman has already conveyed, he'll not be gettin' it
from me.

Tom Sherman told me what I wanted to know. He has brains enough not to get
too technical with someone like me who has contempt for technicians like
JimmyMac. Never tell anyone more than he wants to know. We librarians are
good at this too.


You didn't seem to have contempt for the technician (me) when my
skills were required to rid you of a computer virus. I didn't bother
to enlighten you because 1) I felt that you should make an effort to
learn something on your own, and 2) because I assumed that the know
it all already knows it all.
