And I have to concur. While our commonly recognized numbering system (I
believe actually developed by arabs? Not positive.) of base 10 is what
most people refer to in common conversation... this is absolutely
correct.
Since non-base 10 numbering systems are what modern computing is based
on, anyone wishing to dispute that should write their reply by hand and
send it to everyone via snail mail. Because your computer truly doesn't
even understand what the digit 2 stands for.:P
Oh, OK. I'll accept email anyway.
I now await a translation of 666 into binary. :)
