I feel the same way, a kb is a kb is a kb no matter how you crack it. If someone is using 1000 as there basis that is incorrect...

These are always calculated as 2 ^ x where x=0...infinity. I believe every calculation in software is done using the power of 2. 1000 could be used by sales as others suggested but how come they justify 1000 kb is bigger than 1024 kb ! 1 byte=8 bits 1 KB = 1024 bits 1 MB = 1024 KB = 1024*1024=1048576 bits 1 GB = 1024 MB =1024*1048576=1073741824 bits Raminder Braich -----Original Message----- From: Jºrgen Opitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Calculate 1 MB in TSM Hello TSM'ers, can anyone tell me how TSM calculate 1MB?
