Woah , slow down Richard ! I asked one rhetorical question . No need to chew my head off . I read the given reference and was intrigued by the nomenclature. There was no sarcasm/disbelief intended in my post - what do you do on a day off -tear into somebody because they make eye contact ! Chill the **** out.

I was in no way offended and do not mean to bite your head off. I did not know what "Yobi" was or meant so I looked it up via wiki which in turn led to the IEC article. I thought it was interesting and inline with the thread about numbers so I Copy and Pasted the article.

Not a problem Richard , I only came across the term by following the link you had provided . Much better to forget minor misunderstandings and be pleased that we all have more knowledge. Many thanks because I have gained knowledge from you .Kris
