Again I say "Ahhh". Are you mixing your bits and bytes then?
1MB =1024KB
1mb=1000kb
Although upper and lower case seem to have becoming interchangeable, even though technically they have different meaning. The simple formula is suddenly getting more complicated.

Ahhh, but then marketing gets involved and changes the 1024 to 1000 and ta da, you now have more MegaBytes. 1024 is the right number to use, but don't be surprised if it doesn't match with some numbers you might compare it to.Not necessarily, in data storage 1mb = 1024kb but in data transfer 1mb = 1000kb. -- Brent Baisley Systems Architect Landover Associates, Inc.
