Could have been worse, there's a few Hex jokes knocking about too, but they take a lot more working out. :-)
I just can't work to a base of 16! My old Acorn Electron had a hex counter when loading. I didn't know what the hell it was doing, until a few years back.
I am embarrased to say I'm not completely confused.
Don't worry about it, it's a computer nerd/geek thing.
