Cool, someone here is older than me! I came in with the 8080, and I remember split octal, but sixes are something I missed out on.
The pdp 10/15 had 18 bit words and could be organized as 3*6 or 2*9, pdp 8s had 12 bits I think, then came the IBM 7094 which had 36 bits and finally the CDC6000 & 7600 machines with 60 bits, some one must have liked 6's
