No, not everyone will 'get' it, but what the ****, right?

    OK if we start talking to each other in ASCII....I am outta here for good :D

    char msg[]={89,79,85,78,69,82,68,83,33};

    I agree with Ceruleance! LOL

    Geez, there are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who know binary and those who don't.

    That's almost as bad as the network weenie with the binary clock at work.

    Hey all you Polksters,

    Don't forget the ";" at the end of your line, if you leave it out, you'll get a parse error at compile time! ;)

    Here's a quick look at binary. We'll use the standard notation that "^" represents a exponent. So "2^2" is "two raised to the power of two". Using the exponent and moving from right to left shows that we have the ones column, followed by the twos, fours, eights, sixteens, etc.
    <pre>
    2^7 2^6 2^5 2^4 2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0
    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    </pre>
    Since there are only two states in binary, "true=1 and false=0", you add numbers from each column to total to the decimal equivalent. Let's just use 4 bits to start.
    Our example for the number two shows that we need a number from the 2^1 column and nothing from the 2^0 column.
    <pre>
    2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0 (exponent)
    0 0 2 0 (decimal equivalents to total)
    0 0 1 0 (binary number)
    So 2(dec) = 0010(bin)
    </pre>
    Three:
    <pre>
    2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0 (exponent)
    0 0 2 1 (decimal equivalents to total)
    0 0 1 1 (binary number)
    So 3(dec) = 0011(bin)
    </pre>
    Four:
    <pre>
    2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0 (exponent)
    0 4 0 0 (decimal equivalents to total)
    0 1 0 0 (binary number)
    So 4(dec) = 0100(bin)
    </pre>
    Its quite easy once you get started. One more example for decimal 29:
    <pre>
    2^4 2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0 (exponent)
    16 8 4 0 1 (decimal equivalents to total)
    1 1 1 0 1 (binary number)
    So 29(dec) = 11101(bin)
    </pre>
    Easy!

    well, at the transistor level its all 1's and 0's, Vdd or Ground.

    Hex and Octal just make it easier for us humans to read it without taking up so many pages.

    NO... i'm not a nerd!!!
