Did you know about these file sizes?

[marcm]

I was surfing the 'net, and I came upon a file size that I was unfamiliar with, EB.:? I found this (http://www.glossary-tech.com/byte.htm) site and found out all about these *huge* sizes I did not know about.8O What is the lrgest size you knew of before reading this post? Note the difference between GigaBIT and GigaBYTE. Personally, the largest I knew of was Terrabyte.

I knew about Yottabytes, if only from the IBM commercial that had Captain Sisko from ST:DS9. It's such a great-sounding size.

The largest size I knew about was a petabyte...

You mean you *don't* have a yottabyte worth of hard disk space at home? 8O :lol:

Okay, on a more serious note, I stumbled upon all the "bytey" definitions when I was messing around with code years ago. "Yottabyte" - sounds great, doesn't it? I'm just waiting for a YB SD card to be released. :mrgreen:
