People, of course, speak in shorthand. Somebody who has 65,536 bytes of memory will say, “I have 64K (and I’m a visitor from the year 1980).” Somebody who has 33,554,432 bytes will say, “I have 32 megs.” That rare person who has 1,073,741,824 bytes of memory will say, “I’ve got a gig (and I’m not talking music).”
