Big Endian vs. Little Endian
At the end of the credits for the original Connectix Virtual PC for Mac is
my favourite quip on the subject, "Endian Little Hate We."
That said, my two favourite architectures (PPC and 6502) are traditionally
big-endian and little-endian respectively, though in fairness PPC can be
bi-endian.
