It is not easy to see those kinds of errors, so thank you. BTW, if you have any expertise in the subject, the whole series of articles 8-bit computing, 16-bit computing etc etc n-bit computing are impenetrable and incoherent gobbledegook. If it interests you, they could do with a massive rewrite. See also Labours of Hercules: the Augean stables. Others have had a look, shuddered and gone elsewhere. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:04, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Actually, I came here to learn, so I don't have the expertise to rewrite an entire series of knowledge outside of my reach. --Happypig375 (talk) 11:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well it was worth a try. :-) --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:25, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
