+<h1>Bits 'n Bytes.</h1>

+
+This is basic Computer Science but its worth restating the basics
+sometimes.

+<h2>bits</h2>
+
+A bit is the smallest component in computer memory, it has
+two states, either ON or OFF. These states are represented as 1 or 0
+and thus everything is based on binary arithmatic.
+<pre>
+Off == 0
+On  == 1
+</pre>
+<p>
+<hr>
+<h2>Bytes</h2>
+
+For convinence, bits are grouped into blocks of 8, these blocks
+are called Bytes.
+An integer byte can store any value from 0 -> 255.
