Ran out of OCD meds..

There are 1024 (ie 2**10) bytes in a K, and 1024 K in a Meg.

Aren't there only 1000 K in a Megabyte? I thought the reason for making 1024B/K didn't apply in the K2M case..

No, strictly speaking there are 1024 bytes per kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes per megabyte, 1024 megabytes per gigabyte, etc. The only people who regularly change these rules work in the marketing department of hard drive manufacturers.	[reply]
