I went over 500 posts and didn't go all on about it. Discuss.

1. 500 posts! That's a lot of posts, I say...So many keystrokes, too!

We met when you were finishing up 200 posts, and you promised to lie to anyone who posted in that thread; but you couldn't! The sign of a good man if I ever saw one...


:pals:


:hi:

2. Well, think in binary!

You're approaching the big 512!

[evlbstrd]

3. You're right!

I can't wait to hit a megabyte!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. What's a megabyte? Tell me! I'm such a newbie about these things!

I'd really like to be less informed...and more knowledgable...!


:shrug:

[evlbstrd]

5. It's a measurement of computer storage,

whether it's Random Access Memory (RAM) or disc storage, like hard drives, backup tapes, CD ROMs. Someone else will be better able to explain the math.

edit to add that a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, 4 x 512 kilobytes.

6. OK, thank you so much...That helps some...I'm truly lousy at math, or

whatever you call this...computer science, I guess...

[petronius]

9. Apparently you're not the only one

who's bad at math! (4x512 /= 1024) :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. You got it, petronius! I was ALWAYS lousy at math....

I was so grateful when calculators came along in the early 1970's and saved me from arithmetic...

Where in CA are you located? I'm in SoCal, LA area...

[petronius]

11. Central Coast for me...

San Luis Obispo, to be precise. I like your avatar! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you! And I like yours as well!

San Luis Obispo is a very pretty part of California... :toast:

7. Don't you mean a Kilo-Byte. A MB would be 1 Million.

[evlbstrd]

8. Yup.

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte.
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte.

Sorry. I was an art major.

13. I never mentioned it until now. This is my 4,299th post.

In fact, I never had any idea until I just now checked it.

14. CONGRATULATIONS, Seabiscuit!

Way to go!
