Coke, i would have put you as one of the people who gets annoyed when people say java instead of javascript... http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.
1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes.

lol, i forgot, you are a web host, of course you knew what you were typing http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Rich, there are two kinds of 'Kilo', 'Mega' etc

The physical meaning, which I took, and the meaning used by computers:
The first one says that Kilo = 1000, Mega = 1,000,000, Giga = ....
The second one says that Kilo = 1024, Mega = 1024², and so on.

I assumed Shame wanted to know the physical meaning as this one is, sorry Rich http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif, the more common one. Of course you can take the other meaning too but 100000000 would then be 97,656.25 KBytes, 95.37 MBytes.

If this was supposed to be scientifically correct then of course the latter is the correct version (for computers).
I personally will keep using the simplified version which is still correct.

Btw there's a huge difference between Java and Javascript, while it's only 24 here http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yes 128Kbit is allows max. 14.2 Kb/s download http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
8 bit + 1 bit verify bit
128.000 / 9

@Home cable modem gives 3000 Kbit dl / 500 Kbit upload speed dammn http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
