I don't know about the bits and bytes but I like the sound of it anyway.

With bits and bytes, one strange thing that I remember, is that, in
1985, in Australia, a particular computer was introduced, that had a 32
bit processor with 8 bit buses. It was a Motorola 68008 CPU, and, I
could not understand why a company would produce a 32 bit CPU wit 8 bit
buses. The computer was named the Telecom Computerphone, and, it was an
oddity in itself.
