[Year 12 IT Apps] [Humor] Kilobyte

[Mark Kelly]

I like that.  Personally, I drew the line at kibibytes 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte).  I was perfectly happy with 
kilobytes until someone decided to make things "less confusing" by 
redefining the term.

Grrr!

You'll know when we are officially a civilised race: our schools have 
all the money they need and the Air Force has to run a chook raffle to 
buy a new bomber.
