POP - On Sat, 11 Oct 2003 21:55:45 -0700, Nick Ruark posted the following tocomp.dcom.telecom: The data tags in each system store much more information -- 128 bytes -- than bar codes, which can store only 1.1 bytes.I not would have expected Computerworld to make this kind of error.UPC bar codes encode considerably more than 1.1 bytes, which wouldallow for slightly less than nine products in the U.S. consumermarketplace. The standard UPC code has ten decimal digits, plus twoadditional digits that perform more limited functions (product classand checksum, or something like that). The ten decimal digits,representing 10,000,000,000 possible items, could be stored as tenhexadecimal bytes, but there wouldn't be ten bytes of information(because each byte has a capacity of storing 0-15, but only 0-9 wouldbe used). There is really somewhat more than 9 bytes (8,589,934,592items) of information.Michael D. SullivanBethesda, MD, USADelete nospam from my address and it won't work.
