I'd like to thank the Arabs for getting rid of our old MCMLXXVIII rubbish, and I'd also like to thank the Indians for nothing. I don't think I'd ever have tried to program in machine code without them.
You are welcome :D All civilizations should co-operate together to serve humanity, Indians and Chinese put the principles of counting, Mohammed Ibn Musa El-Khwarizmi invents Algebra and Arabic Numerals and puts the basics of algorithms, and Charles Babbage puts the concepts of "Computers". :)
