I should have noted that the speed terst is in megabits, while my throughput as displayed in my news reader client is in megabytes. So, multiply by 1024 to convert

Back in the day, a byte was 8 bits (except for Sperry Univac which had 9 bit bytes) so we converted megabytes to megabits by multiplying by 8

(guess who is REALLY bored today...)

A byte is still a byte, but, as it says on the HD packaging, they use 1000 as the multiplier which throws the actual size off, but, which sounds better. Sort of like the 5.0's are not really 5.0.

Who is "they"? Someone forgot to tell all of the bit to byte conversion software on the web?
