Maxtor drive holds 1.8 million images

Just a small correction ...: I'm sure it's what you meant, but for those out there that are not sure ...

in Storage ONLY - (RAM, and Hard Drive)

1k = 1024
1M = 1,000,000 NOT 1000k (at least not acuratly)
1G = 1,000,000,000

Unfortuantely, due to the unstable nature of the materials used to make Hard Drives, one RARELY (if ever) actually gets the space one pays for.

And RAM ? I will never figure out how 128 megs is actually 127 and change ...

The really confusing part is when they refer to 512k - although one WANTS to refer to it as 1/2 a meg, in actuallity, half a meg is only 500k.

Whay couldn't they just either call a k 1000, or a meg 1024^2 ?

As usual, just my opinion, take it or leave it.
