Re: "B"
Yeah, it's definitely easier than the B chord. 
Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

It sounds wrong because it is.
Move your 2 to 1 and you've got a Bb (A#) or move your 3 to 4 and you've got B.
On a barre chord just think if your finger as the nut.
The open "A" chord is played on the second fret therefore move the shape up one fret to get Bb (A#) and barre the first fret, your barring finger becomes the equivalent of the nut.
Move the whole shape up another fret to get to "B"
Re: "B"
I've found that the B chord is a lot easier if I help out my ring finger by using my pinkie on the B string. Not enough power in the ring finger I guess.
Old age and treachery...

This is true, and as with any barre chord, it's a little easier on your hands if you squeeze it when you strum and then kinda of relax your left hand (or right, if you switch) between strums.
I play the X24442 B and while at first it was tricky, it gets easier with practice, just like anything.

I also do this when at times my ring finger isn't as flexible as normal.
There's always a cure, it's just a matter of finding it.

Certainly sounds less messy than the B chord...
Thanks for the advice, Zurf!
(I'll let you know how it comes out.)
Just play
