I'm glad we've got all that cleared up.  Just to expand, the only time I know
of when bit (not byte) order gets cloudy is in communications.  Some systems
send the lsb first, some the msb (I'm talking about synchronous comm. in 
particular).  As I recall, token bus and CSMA/CD LANs send it one way, whereas
token ring LANs handle it the opposite way.
