Things just got more complex from there. Because bits have 2 possible values, things just double in size as they progress. This is why if you look at the amount of actual bytes in a memory stick is never exactly what they advertise. If you measure things in binary terms, a kilobit is actually 1024 bits (2^10).

OK, maybe I am remembering WORD size rather than byte size...

Well, a word is simply one or more whole bytes (a byte is the smallest possible word).

Thanks, Toxin, but I knew most of that.

I'm not as empty-headed as I act.

Ah, word. Than, chances are, you know more about computer architecture then you think, that's what it's all based on. :V
