Hi,

I want to say a big thank you to Alan Gauld, Blake Winton (GREAT explanation
Blake) and Daniel Yoo for the excellant responses to my question about using
bitwise operations. I now have a very general, overview kind of
understanding about how and why one deals with bits. But I will have to play
around and give myself some simple learning tasks to work through to really
get a handle on this stuff. You guys have given me enough of an
understanding that I now have a place to start. Ironically, I just got a new
order of books from Amazon and was fliping though "A programmers guide to
Java Certification" and came upon a couple more simple examples of bit usage
(different language but the principle is the same).

Again, thanks for taking the time to impart your knowledge.
