>[Endian-ness?]


Not entirely on-topic, but a good read nonetheless:


%A David James
%T Multiplexed Busses: The Endian Wars Continue
%J IEEE Micro Magazine
%D June 1990
%P 9-22


It includes ``how fast can you byte swap'' code for a bunch of
architectures.


>[How often do you care about byte order?]


System code, graphics, simulators, debuggers, byte-oriented I/O.
Not every day, I'll agree.
