Also, granted, to this day you can still use only
8-bits of a register:
Yeah, but that's not totally useless; lots of byte-organized data out there in
the world, e.g. ASCII strings. 16-bit data, less so, although there is some in
networking protocols (checksums, ports, etc - although the checksums you
_compute_ using bigger chunks).
Windows and Microsoft Office still uses UTF-16....
