4- binary: 00000100
	 8 bits

450- binary: 0000000111000010
	bigger than 8 bits, so it's 16-bits

Damn man, you should know this if your a programmer.  Just keep in mind,
if a number's between 0 and 255 (unsigned) or -128 and 127(signed) it's
8-bit.  If its between 0 and 655535 (unsigned) or -32768 and 32767 its
16-bit.  Obviously, any 8-bit number can also be 16-bits.  The thing is,
the registers can only hold 8 bits each.m  

They are:
	a, b, c, d, e, h, l,  and if you have Joe's new assembly tables ixh,
ixl, iyh, and iyl

Some registers can be combined so that they hold 16-bits total
(obviously).  The new 16-bit registers are:

	bc, de, hl, ix, and iy
There ya go

				See ya,
