> Heh. Thinking about it, they'd probably be considered Imperial units, because there's eight bits to a byte, not ten. I challenge metric Dictators everywhere to build a 10-bit computer and have it be as efficient and cost-effective as a computer built around powers of 2. Ha. :-P

Hrm. -Darien envisions the insane number of errors a base-10 computer would be prone to and shudders-

Frankly, there just ian't a very good reason to make a base-10 computer. I heard about a company awhile back making a base-16 computer, but they haven't been able to get it to run very well - it runs hot and has a *lot* of errors. But they're probably still trying.
