True - badly worded sentence - a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes
(technically it is 1,048,576 bytes or  2^20)  <grin>

A gigabyte is 1000 megabytes which is 1,000,000 bytes. (btw, a terabyte
[tb] is 1000 gigabytes, we're talking fairly large numbers now!)


Shouldn't it be "A gigabyte is 1000 megabytes which is 1,000,000,000
bytes"?
No biggie - just want to see the math kept straight!
