This made me curious and I looked it up: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061002101453AAlZ8lK says that “1 kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes
1 MB is 1,024 kilobytes
1 gigabyte (GB) is 1,024MB, or 1,073,741,824 (1024x1024x1024) bytes.
1 terabyte (TB) is 1,024GB; 1TB is about the same amount of information as all of the books in a large library, or roughly 1,610 CDs worth of data.
1 petabyte (PB) is 1,024TB. Indiana University is now building storage systems capable of holding petabytes of data.
1 exabyte (EB) is 1,024PB.
1 zettabyte (ZB) is 1,024EB.
1 yottabyte (YB) 1,024ZB.” but also says “Source(s):
sorry, forgot source”
A true IT guy would have called his problem an “I dee ten tee” error. Verbably it sounds official until you write it down as ID10T. Either that or a PEBKAC (Problem exists between keyboard and chair)…

“Terabyte me” would have been 1,044 times as bad.

With math skills like those, you better have someone do your taxes for you.

I’d have to check, but I think your off by 20 there Edcole1961.
Pretty sure its 1024 bytes to a kilobyte and so forth. Though its still early and my brain hasn’t started yet I could be wrong.
