Abstract :
Economics forced abandonment of the Roman Numeral numbering system. Economies will force adoption of a binary derived numbering system. Economies will also force adoption of some type of "Assembler Digit". One such system has been proposed and partially implemented. It is suggested that alternate systems be proposed and evaluated, We ought not continue to place crutches under our obsolete Arabic-decimal systems.
