Ack. . . That's some relief though: I thought my "bytes and words"
thing was bad.
Still amazes me how much you have to filter through web content
to find something useful though. I went looking for some help
with base conversion today [well, yeah; I need it], and found
a link to "octal mnemonic" on a MetaCrawler results page. I hit
the link immediately, thinking; "great, exactly what I'm looking
for."
Octal Mnemonic is the name of a band. Probably great musicians,
but. . .
