I realized that I may have been mistaken about how binary data is
stored.  Is it stored in memory in ~xxx form, or is it stored in
memory as the true value of the byte, and only converted to ~xxx
form when code is disassembled or printed through an ascii
connection?

If that's so then forget my rant about a binary data type.  My rant
on hex vs. octal still stands though.
