Why was <tt><b>ON</b></tt> not listed a potential candidates?<p>
In machine language, the binary (base 1) counting system is used as <tt>ON</tt>. For example; if a latch is open, it's OFF. The same could be said, where processors (CPU's) are concerned. In fact, a CPU is not unlike a light switch. In the same way that the speed by which you can turn the light(s) on, and off, is the <i>frequency</i> of that cycle. So it is with the CPU -- the <i>Frequency</i> is determined by how fast the CPU <i>cycles</i>. So in essence; the CPU is no more than a light switch. So it is, where the binary/base-1 numbering/counting system is.</p>
<p>
In conclusion; it is my assertion that the correct answer would have been "none of the above". As a result, I couldn't vote.</p>
