Ok, let's move on, there is no point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte "In historical usage in some areas of information technology, particularly in reference to digital memory capacity, kilobyte denotes 1024 (2^10) bytes. This arises from the powers-of-two sizing common to memory circuit design. In this context, the symbols K and KB are often used." "The kilobyte has traditionally been used to refer to 1024 bytes (2^10 B), a usage still common. The usage of the metric prefix kilo for binary multiples arose as a convenience, because 1000 approximates 1024." "The binary representation of 1024 bytes typically uses the symbol KB, with an uppercase letter K. The B is often omitted in informal use. For example, a processor with 65,536 bytes of cache memory might be said to have "64K" of cache. In this convention, one thousand and twenty-four kilobytes (1024 KB) is equal to one megabyte (1 MB), where 1 MB is 1024^2 bytes." Hope that helps, Antony. -- Wanted: telepath.
