Re: Orders of Magnitude (mildly off topic)

...that requires 60 exabytes of storage...

I want to make sure I have the terminology correct:

1 Exabyte = 1,000 Petabytes
1 Petabyte = 1,000 Terabytes
1 Terabyte = 1.000 Gigabytes
1 Gigabyte... well I know we all have that down!

I'm using the drive manufacturer's multiplier instead of 1,024... their equivalent of the gas stations quoting a gallon at 1.129. :-O
