Really? My memory must be failing. Old age or something.

Uhm, exactly. I thought you were saying otherwise, so that was a bit
of a misunderstanding.

Actually, a) happens 100% as far as I can see, but b) is rarer.

Heh. My "simple calculator" (Casio fx-115s) does binary, IIRC. Not
that I ever use it. Or that calculator, for that matter. wonder where
I left it. (It should tell you something that in six years of high
school, I went through four calculators due to losing the previous
one. Sure, I found em again after a few months, but still..).

What you need is a 100" TFT 10.000 lumen LCD rear projection screen,
1600*1200, a real keyboard (make it a www.pckeyboards.com model), a
real mouse or trackball (Logitech, and don't forget the ruddy wheel,
OK?), a DVD player in your laptop, and Quake II in the player. Or the
Matrix, whichever way your tastes go.

Oh, and Dolby Digital Surround 5 channel, and THX.

And an OC-3.
