Hello everyone; it's my first mail on this list ;)
I've been in the computer world for a long time now - 20 years or so. and KB =
kilobyte = 1024 bytes. MB = megabyte = 1024x1024 bytes. ie power of 2's always
for memory

Well, reading through the Usage Notes section on Wikipedia is
interesting. We're dealing with bytes in all six cases, but there are
differences:
* A MB of RAM is 1024 * 1024 bytes.
