it's so obvious you used a converter. =D 24.125.162.186 00:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I think that the first sentence of the first paragraph should be rephrased.

In ordinary usage they are typically contrasted with binary files, so that binary files are all files which do not contain merely plain text.

I believe this sentence could be simplified. This would allow less articulate readers to understand the sentence structure in a more timely fashion.

I believe the sentence be rephrased to "In many cases, plain text files are considered to be different from binary files because binary files are made up of more than just plain text."Trevbork 16:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article needs an actual binary example

Hexadecimal representations are excellent for human (or at least geek) consumption. But since this is an article on binary, don't you think we should, you know, have an actual binary example? Both graphics show hex, not binary representations. Perhaps one showing hex and one binary would be better. N2e 02:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
