Yeah, I did that too. In fact, after several dozen times of switching in the
boot loader in octal, I had most of it memorized. Smile.

I remember using my audio light probe to read the hex readout on an IBM 1130
console while debugging an assembly language program too. All the sighted
programmers really wondered what the blind guy was doing with the high and
low pitched tones.
