| (...) I've been around computer hardware since the intel 8008 (about 1978), and a byte has always been 8 bits, and a nibble 4 bits. I do not claim to know all architectures though). In some machines 16 bits is a word, and in others a half word, 32 (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
