0x1D3 (although I actually prefer $1D3), or even (at least some times)

I am a hex guy. We would say x'01D3' for that binary string.
Cindy's notation looks like octal to me.
Binary is always going to be binary tho.
BCD anyone? ;-)
That is 6 bit code plus a parity bit hence 7 track tape drives.
I get the feeling some people in this group are quite old.
They prolly have thermometers with binary/hex/octal/scientific notation displays too.
The best thermometer is the penis.
Could be a little tricky for candymaking.
