  70. RAM chips can remember what
  71. you tell them. But the only
  72. thing these two kinds of
  73. chips can remember are "on"
  74. and "off."

  81.    The memory chips are
  82. divided into thousands of
  83. little compartments called
  84. bits. Each bit is either "on"
  85. or "off."  The bits are
  86. grouped together in eights.
  87.     Each group of eight bits
  88. is called a byte.
