A bit = 1 Another bit = 0 Meaning the switch is either open, or closed. That is two bits of information. A byte is the number of bits used to define a letter, number, comma etc and a computer handles a byte as a single lump. That's 8 bits. So, 8 bits = one byte. Simple! Here's some information britannica.com A two-bit crook is a different thing. It's not that he is short of a byte. That's my 2 cents, Mqurice PS: Linkabit, the antecedent of QUALCOMM, linked bits together. Hence the name. QUALCOMM has gone on to link petatrillions of phragmented photons in a pixilated plasma of global communication soon to accelerate by an order of magnitude with 1xEV, 3G, 4G, and up to 10G.
