Hi back!

Kewl! It's pretty rare I ever have a chance to be "larger"...
One thing that's bugging me is this cross-platform disparity. It'd
seem to me like a byte is a byte. It's a specific number of bits; i.e.
0's and 1's. Like... a 100,000 byte image file is 100,000 bytes,
whether on a Mac or a PC. The OS can screw with the numbers, like
Windoze sure does, and the Mac OS, apparently, but you should be able
to look underneath, regardless of file system, independent of how or
where it's stored, and see the *real* size. I can do it with the PC.
Isn't this possible with a Mac?
:>I think we're going to need a chart or something to keep track of all
:>these...where's my slide rule?
Before we're done, it might be a very *large* chart. I think we may
have to call in NASA.
Ummmmm... KH to Houston Control. Come in please...
And for Y's benefit, yep, I do have a slide rule. Ackshully, I have a
few. No circular ones, though I've seen one. My classic treasure is
the K&E Log Log Duplex Decitrig. The Dad Unit gave it to me when I was
in 10th grade. His Dad gave it to him when *he* was in 10th grade.
It's been way heavily used, but also carefully protected and cared
for, and it's as accurate as the day it was made, sometime back in the
40's.
And yeah, I know how to use all of the 23 scales. Hehe...
See ya. ;oP
