What is an
I Just found a website that said that, in theory, the NTFS file system can hold a file in excess of 6 'exabytes'... what's an exabyte?

1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte - In 2000, 3 exabytes of information was created
1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1000 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
1000 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte - that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes

I wonder if they have a Googolbyte yet?

1 Googol is 10 to the 100th power.

Scroll to the very bottom

Interesting link, Rick.

Gee, I hope I never get that rich. I'd have great difficulty even spelling it if I was a QUATTUORVIGINTILLION-aire.

Couldn't pronounce it, either.

It's not likely, so I'm not really worried.

Cheers
Mick
