With the better spacing and rab spir's guide, I now see what you meant. Sorry I don't use monospace -- I don't seem even to have it as an option. It does seem odd that a hex fan would not know how to count through the digits, though I don't know how standard the count is. I learned it in the 60's so it is not exactly novel, though capitalizing zen is probably left over from philosophy or duodecimalism. Also odd that you use the 7-bar matrix but can't describe figures in it: horizontals from the top 1-2-3, verticlas left-to-right, top to bottom A,B, C, D. The competitors to hex are not binary and quartenary by decimal and duodecimal and, rationality notwithstanding, decimal wins hands down. Rationality coming into play would have duodecimal winning. Hex comes after 60, probably. --part1_2b.1c20df01.28eb22e0_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thanks.
