I am a unix geek but i still talk about my "first" monitor and my "second" monitor. Do you guys really say stuff like "now it displays on my first monitor, see how i can drag it back onto my zeroth monitor"?
no, but quite a lot of us call a[0] the first element in the a[] array, and we call /dev/ttyS0 the first serial port, and localhost:0 the first local display. in case it isn't clear, i'm for 0-based numbering!
