Jack's Ramblings

That is a great picture Chuck!!! Thanks for posting it

That's a GREAT picture Gary!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think that is a very happy cat even though my black cat Code likes to play in water. He is actually fascinated by it and likes to play in the sink and try to catch the water. He also appeared in the middle of a great big thunderstorm soaking wet when he was a tiny kitten. At least you got my Monday off to a good start 

I thought Code was a tuxedo cat!!

I love that picture Jess  No Code is as solid black as you can get. He doesn't have any white or any other color anywhere on him.

So Jack I was wondering could you explain to me how this system of measurement of computing capacity works.
Like what is a gig, a terrabite, how much makes up one thing then another. When I hear people talk about their computors that part is always over my head. The last time I had a handle on it was with the comadore 64, which I never had one but......

Truman, a bit is a binary digit which equals 0 or 1 and is the basic unit of information storage. All of the other measurements are a reflection of how many of the basic units (bits) are available for storage or how many of these are taken up by a document, application, etc. The number of bits has been steadily increasing and what used to represent a lot of storage now represents very little. So here is a run down of how much of one things makes up another.

8 bits is a byte
1000 bytes is a kilobyte (KB)
1 million bytes is a megabyte (MB)
1 billion bytes is a gigabit (GB)
1 trillion bytes is a terabyte
1 quadrillion bytes is a petabyte
1 quintillion bytes is an exabyte
1 sextillion bytes is a zettabyte
1 septillion bytes is a yottabyte

Does that help?

comadore 64,

I believe that was a 64mb computer!
Smokin in it's day! LOL

Yes it does, I will print it out and put it in my wallet.

So when I am shoping for a computor I should look for the one that has the most bytes for the money, right?

I think they yottabyte too if you have a septillion of them.

Is that like Yonah Bite?

This pie is soooooo goooood Yonah Bite??
