The Read Only Memory (ROM)
chips hold information that
has been built into them.  The
RAM chips can remember what
you tell them. But the only
thing these two kinds of
chips can remember are "on"
and "off."

   The memory chips are
divided into thousands of
little compartments called
bits. Each bit is either "on"
or "off."  The bits are
grouped together in eights.
    Each group of eight bits
is called a byte.
