It's a geek thing I suppose :). I don't have the link on this machine, but there's a binary, hex, decimal, base 64 calculator, input text, get binary(01011101) etc.
As to the amount of lost work, it depends on how often you set your checkpoint. If you right-click, configure, it's an option in there. It defaults to 15 minutes. You can set it to 3 minutes if you choose or 30 minutes or whatever, it's a slider. It robs some cycles during the save and you lose a little efficiency, but if you're concerned set it lower. I set mine for 10 minutes.
LOL!
I'm no further ahead on the zero and one thing, but your explanation was very entertaining. Thanks!

I've been setting it to 30 mins. when my L/T will be running for a few hours, or more.
I reset it to every 5-10 mins before I turn it off.
Is this helping me to retain more of the work?
(Now I'm sounding like a geek. That's a good thing, right?)
