A good solution mentioned in the other thread is to have a grid of 1's and 0's in very light grey and then highlight the 1000 in black, which would still look like an 8 ball but be very obviously computer related even to people who know nothing about computers.
 Yeah, that was my suggestion, but as Tony pointed out it might be difficult to do if only one color is available.
