Also, and I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I also entered ONEbit yesterday….. but I fixed it when the crosses didn't work. :)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-62368824637380913142015-10-21T20:06:20.343-04:002015-10-21T20:06:20.343-04:00Are you mocking me???Are you mocking me???Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-64668985884309437462015-10-21T03:53:02.683-04:002015-10-21T03:53:02.683-04:008:44

And Horace, that's an unfortunate definition, mathwise, of a kilobyte (should be 8000 bits, but I guess computer geeks don't worry about such details). As I mentioned in ME, my Sinclair ZX81 had a whopping 8 kb of ram with no internal storage capacity. Anyway, this puzzle was a bit weak. I figured Horace wouldn't like the circles in the middle. I starred SEXTS (of course), a practice of which I've never been on either the sending or receiving end, and 35A Feature of Rome's Pantheon (DOME) because it reminded me of our trip to Italy and because it rhymes with Rome. Also, 8D 20, for 1/4 and 1/5, e.g.: Abbr. (LCD), because it's awesome.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-90311816028468213532015-10-20T22:41:27.560-04:002015-10-20T22:41:27.560-04:00Speaking of BYTE, and BIT... last weekend I argued...Speaking of BYTE, and BIT... last weekend I argued with Huygens, claiming that a byte was 1024 bits. D'oh! That's a kilobyte, of course. So... does that make you feel better?Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-32438132204592236572015-10-20T22:11:49.913-04:002015-10-20T22:11:49.913-04:004:28

A lot of 7-letter answers here. And BYTE mocks me in the SE corner. Mocks, I say, like a mean mocking mocker person.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
