This is Joseph. If you have a hard disk with 40 GB of
storage, Windows will reported as "37.2 GB." It is
because a byte is defined as a character. Many
industries, particularly the companies who produces
hard disks, regard a megabyte (MB) as 1 million bites.
However, computers regard a megabyte as 148576
characters (1024 times 1024) because it uses binary to
calculate the number of characters. When you closely
examine the Flash Disk's capacity you'll notice that
the capacity is slightly lower than what you have
expected. It is actually 128 MB, however, it shows as
something like "disk size: 128365512 bytes" because it
reportsd the capacity using Binary calculation (Binary
means 2.). This topic also brings me to explain why
you coudn't download attachments. First, when you
receive an attachment, computers store "temporary"
copy of the attachment, and when the download is
complete, it "copies" the attachment to the desired
location (say Flash Disk). This copying method applies
to KeySoft: when you download any file from Internet,
it first downloads a temporary copy of the file onto
KeySoft System Disk, and when the download is
complete, the file is then copied to the desired
location. That is the reason wht you can't download
files larger than the free space available on the
KeySoft System Disk. Dean Jackson stated that from
KeySoft 7 you'll be able to download large files from
Internet (the only limit is the amount of free space
left on the disk that you are downloading to e.g. if
you are downloading to Flash Disk, you cannot download
files larger than the free space left on Flash Disk.).
At this moment KeyWeb does not support write-clicking
(because KeyWeb is a completely different enviornment
from Internet Explorer although it uses IE as the
basic engine.). I hope this information may help you.
