One GB is one thousand megabytes. One floppy can download about one point 3
megabytes. One CD can download about 630 megabytes. Two cautions about
getting one of those 8 GB cards. First is price, very expensive storage per
megabyte compared to smaller cards. Second is card failure. If that card
fails, and they all do eventually, you are suddenly out up to 8 GB of data.
Not good, not good at all.

Subject: [Braillenote] Giggabytes and megabytes and cf cards

Hi, this is sort of off topic, but maybe someone can answer this question.
CAn someone tell me how many megabytes are in a gigg? I am planning to get
a one gigg cf card this week and just wondered about that. If you're
comparing to floppies or CD's how many would that be?
Thanks,
Stacey
