It's a reasonably good explanation of binary numbers and "encoding" in a 
more usual sense than we use it here in Unicode-land.  Actually makes 
for a basis to move on to discussing information theory.  But when 
Unicodites say "encoding", they mean stuff like UTF-8 vs UTF-16, which 
is kind of a different kettle of macaroons.
