Sorry to nitpick, but I want to make sure I'm following this. In the section "Order of Magnitude" you write: "So going from 8 to 16 bits is "8 orders of magnitude or 2^8 = 256 times larger." Would it be more accurate to say that it is '9' times larger, not '256' times?

I can imagine others who are afraid of math may be less so as they read about it your words. You are a blessing from God. Thanks :-)
