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. d. |

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. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

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.

JimmyMac can be very helpful when he wants to be, of that there can be no doubt. And he is quite right of course about me knowing how to look up anything. That is something librarians are trained to do. However, I am lazy (slothful) and am loath to look up anything anymore. Tom Sherman understands this. JimmyMac doesn't.

I just won't contribute to your vice. I wont do for you what you are unwilling to even consider doing for yourself. I abhor laziness. It is a repugnant trait, but one that suits you.

It is a repugnant trait, but one that suits you. You are a busy body stalker. It is why you have wasted your life on nonsense and trivia - like computers. It would be better if you were more slothful. Then you might find some time for the truly important things in life - like contemplating your navel. Apparently you did not learn a thing from your Jesuit professors at Loyola. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

You and I will never be equivalents in any regards, but I comprehend your meaning. Why bother to ask a rhetorical question? I merely stated the obvious.
