fate with: You should also be worried about your computer's hard drive. Data is stored in binary format, 1 and 0. The zero has slightly greater mass and therefore, if you haven't balanced your hard drive lately you could be wearing out your bearings prematurely. This suggests that you could make laptops lighter by leaving out the zeros. Is this how zip files work? But I don't understand. A 0 is nothing, right? How can 1 be less than 0? Is 2 also less than 0? Or is it just less than 1? Is this why they say less is more? I heard that there are ony 10 kinds of people in the world, those who know binary and those who don't. __________________________________________________ __________ Glen "Wiley" Wilson usenet1 SPAMNIX at worldwidewiley dot com To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.
