I spent 38 years in the IBM mainframe world from 360's up to Z processors and I too had never heard those terms. In that world bytes were always 8 bits, 1K was 1024 bytes and so on. Storage addressing I did see go from 24 bits of a 32 bit word all the way up to 64 bits and I understand it's now 128 bits. I'm very happy now since I've been retired since 2009! :o Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 8.2.0 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Cabin system - Rock solid with LMS 8.2.0 on Win10 Pro - 1 RPi 3 Model B/Hifiberry DAC+ Pro/PiCorePlayer and Squeezeslave Squeezebox Boom - "At Large" player around both home and cabin Headphones and car - Android phone/Bluetooth w/full library on MicroSD card - PowerAmp music player app (similar to Material Skin) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116079 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
