To continue in the vein of the discussion of the last meeting:
<novalis> Right, and which is more standard, in computing generally?
<Gabriel> novalis: bits.
<novalis> Lines are done that way, but not connections (i.e. your
download speed meter in Netscape)
<Gabriel> novalis: in general refers to all fields, not just end users.
Hence, bits.
<novalis> Ok, how many bits is your HD?
<novalis> Your ram?
<novalis> a floppy?
<Peregrine> How many bytes is your HD or Ram?
<Peregrine> Quick grab your calculator.
I'm willing to debate (on the bytes side, of course) on this.... Anyone
up for it?
Mark, some variant of this would make a decent advocacy round.
