 | | Computers are based on binary code, called bits (1s and 0s), and these 1s and 0s make up characters, text and numbers, files, and so on. |
 | | Computer operating systems were designed to work, out of the box, implementing the command line (prompt), in the basic text mode screen (80x25 for PCs and 80x24 for Unix terminals, etc.). |
 | | In computer usage, this basic number means 1024 bytes, which is 2 to the tenth power--although the Kilo, Mega, Giga and other prefixes are used to mean exponentials of base 10--thousand, million, billion, etc. Nevertheless, kilobyte is used to account storage capacity, file lengths, and other byte-related amounts. |
