But let's not go there right now. :-) Love, Yes, that's the point. With people working with IT, i think it's fair to expect them to make the distinction. If, for no other reason, out of the context that it's a vast difference between 1 GB and 100 GB. Chris, Yes, Dilbert seems to be more of a documentary. :-) Rado,

It's like in Dilbert. ;-) Hmm… I know this uncomfortable feeling… It usually comes if my boss says something technical. It’s like in Dilbert. ;-)
