Hexadecimal Numbering System

[Heinz_]

Hi, i was reading about computers numeric systems and found that in the hexadecimal system, numbers can contain only four bits (nibble) then i read that hex numbers begins with $. I have the following questions regarding to this: 1)Why can i just do $1234A? 2)Why and how html assign hex numbers to colors in the form FF AA CC? 3)Why html color numbers begin with a #? 4)Are these html codes real hexadecimal numbers? 5)I have seen various hex nums in the format 0x123, what are these numbers? 6)I have seen in VB6 hex numbers in the format &H56, what are these numbers? 7)Is this interupt or port or whatever '4c00h' i saw in a assembler code an hex num? 8)Ho are we? 9)Where do we come from? 10)Where babies come from? If someone can answer these basic question please.
