[QUOTE=Website Rob;280431]Whenever you see a number and no reference after it (i.e. KB or MB) then it is in bytes. So divide the number by 1024 to get KB and divide again by 1024 to get MB. So 2048000 = 1.95 MB.

aint it funny how the cs guys used scientific/engineering notation to quantify the terms of their trade?
i think this base2 <> base10 parody will reveal itself as even sillier when quantum computers become mainstream, if they become reality (what happens when your number base becomes some large number, the number of quantum states that can be simultaneously visited).
i mean its 1 thing if you wanna do horsepower <> watts or feet <> meters... at least the notation is consistent with respect to the number base.
but the cs guys are just silly to say 1024 B is a kB.
just another wild tangent.
