Actually, Don, we are ahead of you. The entire decimal thing is an
unfortunate evolutionary diversion. Biologists at MIT are working on
the genetic modifications necessary (16 fingers) so we can count in
hex. Alas, at this time we are only capable of octal. But at least
that's easy because we can all be retrofitted to 8 without having to
resort to genetics.
It must be a good idea. Every so often my cars take it upon
themselves to do that modification to me.
