quexos Banned Member since:May 2007 Location:Brussels, Belgium	For god's sake what exactly is a "BIT" ? This is probably the most obscure word in the world of Technology and digital media. I have so far spotted many different uses for it: - Bit is the 8th of a byte which is the basic measure for digital quantities. - Bit is used in audio as in 16 bits sound, 24 bits sound etc ... - Bit is used in some past game machines as in the Genesis being 16 Bits, PS1 being 32 Bits, Nintendo 64 Being 64 Bits etc ... - Bit is used in Operating systems as in Windows Xp being 32 bits, Vista being 32 or 64 Bits etc ... So is there anyone that REALLY knows and understand what a Bit is ? What are those uses exactly for ? what is really the difference between all those uses ? What is a bit for god's sake ??? I'm a BIT annoyed by this mysterious word
