	Byte
		A byte is commonly used as a unit of storage measurement in computers.
		Byte is often abbreviated B and sometimes b, though b is incorrect as that is a better abbreviation for bit.
		The term "byte" was coined by Werner Buchholz in 1956 during the early design phase for the IBM Stretch computer; originally it was described as 1 to 6 bits (typical I/O equipment of the period used 6-bit chunks of information).

		The byte is also the basic unit of measurement for computer storage, storing the equivalent of one character.
		In decimal systems, kilo stands for 1,000, but the computer world is based on a binary system of twos instead of tens.
		A unit of memory measurement that is 250 bytes (equal to 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes or 1,024 terabyte).

	Luap's page on kilobytes
		In abbreviations, a capital "B" signifies a Byte (usually an 8-bit word, although according to the IEEE definition, on a 16-bit architecture, a byte may mean a 16-bit word), whereas the lowercase signifies a bit.
		That is kilo means one thousand, mega means one million, giga means one billion (and note here I mean an SI billion, 10^9, and not an old-english billion, which was a million millions).
		In December 1998, the IEC made an approval to differentiate between 1024 bytes and 1 kilobyte by the definition of a new term, a kibibyte (kilo-binary byte).

		The "B" in KB or MB is a byte.
		Word has to use bytes for the characters in your sentences, but it also has to use bytes to say "cast this next sentence in 14-point Times New Roman", and "Indent the next paragraph one tab space".

	KiloByte
		Note that this sense of 'kilo' is different from the one accepted in the SI system.
		If number is an instance of real number, then "number kilo byte(s)" is equal to ""number" byte(s)"*.
		If number is an instance of real number, then "number mega byte(s)" is equal to ""number" kilo* byte(s)".

	DailyTech - Western Digital Settles Drive Capacity Class-Action Lawsuit
		1000 bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1000Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte, 1000Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte.
		However, the size of a byte is determined by the architecture of a particular computer system: some old computers had 9, 10, or 12-bit bytes, while others had bytes as small as 5 or 6 bits.
		On a note of agreement, the byte is too close to the bit in it's abbreviation; I proposed the C++ term 'character', as this represents a minimum storage unit of binary data, while leaving it open to changing from 8 to 16 to however many bits are needed.

		You have heard these terms mentioned frequently in reference to the size of a file, the size of a folder, the size of your entire hard drive as well as the size of the memory installed in your computer.
		Per the American Heritage dictionary, a kilobyte is a unit of measurement of the memory capacity of a computer equal to 1,024 bytes.
		As one Byte equals eight keyboard characters of information and we have 1,000,000 Bytes in a Megabyte, we obviously can conclude that a Megabyte will allow us to type eight million keyboard characters of information.

	Binary Powers of Ten (10) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Since shortly after the French Revolution of 1789, scientists--and eventually computer scientists--have found it convenient to refer to large quantities of various units of measure with verbal prefixes and letter symbols.
		Thus kilo- (symbol K) and mega- (M) stand for 103 and 106, thousands and millions.
		Therefore, a backward switch in midstream from a Greek-conceptual to the original Greek-numerical basis (using kilo- for "thousand") is announced as the "expedient" thing to do, simultaneously preserving tradition and leaving the way open to further expansion.
