For those of you not in the NJ/NY area, I heard this amusing little bit last
night on a tv program called PM Magazine during their "story" on home computers


Please determine which of these words is NOT part of computer jargon:


A)  	BIT
B)	BYTE
C)	NIBBLE


Ready?

Well, They all are right!

A BIT is the smallest unit of information a computer understands.
A BYTE contains 8 bits.
And a NIBBLE is half-a-byte, which is four bits, which is (no matter how you
look at it) still 50 cents.


Cute, huh?
