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.
