>>I've been thinking about this this morning. Who invented the zero based approach, which applies to a lot of things in several development environments, including, among others, .NET. This is always a waste of time trying to understand/find which one applies to a specific component. I mean, when I start counting, I start at 1, right? lol

Maybe a typo? I understand some systems use(d) 9 bits per byte, but they're rare.
Computers prefer 8-bit bytes as bits 0-7 (inclusive), humans might prefer bits 1-8 (inclusive).
