Well, at least don't purport to be a computer Ubergeek. Be might be a mechanical engineering Ubergeek, a chemistry Ubergeek, a carnival worker who bites heads off BIG chickens, or anything like that. He's NOT a computer geek, let alone Ubergeek, if he can't do the binary or hex translations of numbers through 255 virtually by rote. Ubergeeks can perform hexidecimal multiplication in their heads. {^_-}
