What's hilarious about all this is that I taught myself base 2, 8, 16
math etc. about 13 years ago as a result of getting into computers
again. I've been doing tech type jobs for the last 10 years or so,
and I've had electronics as a hobby for close to 20 years now.
Interestingly, I've found those other types of math more useful to me
up until last year when I entered college.

Never underestimate the power of your local Library branch having a
book sale. That's all I can say.
