Muddiest Point #2

I realize this may not make me sound brilliant but here goes- my muddiest point was just trying to get my head around binary code. The fact that "numbers" represent letters is not something that I make sense of easily. I am in awe of the speed at which computers are able to translate this code into what I am doing this second. Anyone else? (Obviously, I'm not a math person)

Oh yea Alison i'm pretty blown away as well as to how computers perform the functions they do with such speed and accuracy. Although I must also admit the whole binary code is well above my head ;)
