That's what I get for typing when I'm tired. ;)

You're correct on that being Hex and not Octal. Onur also refreshed my 
memory on that too by reminding me that Hex numbers start with "0x". I used 
to do webdesign stuff and I used to convert the RGB colors from PhotoShop 
to Hex manually (as in with a pad of paper, not with a calculator) to use 
in my HTML code. (Yes, I was only doing it to show off, lol) In HTML though 
they drop the "Ox" off of it though and since it's been a few years since 
I've really done anything significant, I guess it slipped my mind. I used 
to also convert IP addresses into Hex to see if there was a way of spelling 
words and find a real website. I never did find anything and most browsers 
don't deal with Hex addresses in place of URLs anymore, at least not very 
well if they do. It's also hard to spell words with only 6 letters. I 
suppose you could count a 0 as an O, a 5 as an S, and a 7 as a T, but that 
would be stretching it. ;)

Anyway, thanks for pointing out my goof.

Ivan.
