Sorry, I wasn't clear in what I said. You said there was no technical reason for any endian-ness - it was arbitrary. So I took that to mean that you would not agree that running X-endian on a machine with X-endian devices was a good technical reason.
}No, I'm arguing AGAINST using BE.
Compromise. 8-bit computing.
}The computing world would be better off with just one byte order, that }byte order isn't going to be BE.
