These old Usborne computer books sure do hold some neat liitle surprises. after poking about trying to learn some z80 over the last night I can totally agree with red robot here.
code

image taken from 1980s usborne computer book. there are 2 comic like panels.the first featuring a red robot struggling to translate code into binary. the text below this panel reads "Machine code is the code in which the computer does all its work. when you give a computer a program in BASIC, all the instructions and data are translated into machine code inside the computer." the second panel is the robots hands holding a sheet of paper with the words computer code and the binary numbers "01100110 01110101 01100011 01101011 0100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 1110011 00100000 01110011 01101000 1101001 01110100" written on it. the text below this panel reads "In machine code each instruction and piece of information is represented by a binary number. Binary is a number system which uses only two digits, 1 and 0. You can write any number in binary using 1s and 0s"
