Kilobytes to megabytes to gigabytes?

[sister-ray]

Does any one know how many kilobytes are in a Megabyte and how many Megabytes are in a Gigabyte?

According to my hubby:

1 megabyte = 1 024 kilobytes

1 gigabyte = 1 024 megabytes

Then there is a terabyte (derived from the prefix tera- and commonly abbreviated TB) is a measurement term for data storage capacity. The value of a terabyte based upon a decimal radix (base 10) is defined as one trillion (short scale) bytes, or 1000 gigabytes.

• Wal-Mart's data warehouse in Middletown, Connecticut contains 500 terabytes ( 500,000 billion or 500 million million bytes) of data as of 2004.
• The U.S. Library of Congress Web Capture team has claimed that "as of May 2007, the Library has collected more than 70 terabytes (70,000 billion or 70 million million bytes) of data"
• Ancestry.com claims approximately 600 terabytes of genealogical data with the inclusion of US Census data from 1790 to 1930.
• YouTube offices hold over 600 terabytes of user-submitted videos.

And there's the musketabyte, which I believe is 1024 terrabytes.

But I think some Deep Woods Off will wipe out all musketabytes...

Not this year - with all the rain we've had in Ontario, they'll burrow right through Deep Woods Off!

Ok the reason I was asking is because Im hopefully going over to broadband in a few days if all goes well but theres a download limit and I was trying to work out whether it will be enough, somedays Im online all day and visit loads of sites, and share piccies of my birds plus updates to software and stuff, plus other stuff I download, theyre giving me 10gb per month the tech guy says it will be enough I just want to be sure!!
