A floppy
disk that holds 360K of data can accommodate somewhat more than
360,000 characters
English “character” = Swedish “tecken”
(... åtminstone då vi snackar språk & datorer & datorkunskap, ja...)
- OBS!
Jfr 'typ' & 'tecken'!
Megabyte is abbreviated as MB,
means a kilobyte squared
(1,024 times 1,024/ 1,024 x 1,024)
or approximately
(= Sw “ungefär”)
one million bytes.
Remember this,
as a measuring stick: a typical
printed page of text
(sheet
size A4 in Europe and 8" x 11" in the US)
contains
2,500 to 3,000 characters
or approximately 600 words.
Therefore, 1MB holds close to 400 pages of single-spaced text.
1 byte = 8 bit
1 kB =
8 kbit =
8,000 bit
(about ½ page of “normal” text)
1 MB = 8 Mbit = 8,000,000 bit
1 GB = 8 Gbit = 8,000,000,000 bit
