I just know how to use the computer.    Robin R Inge "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away"     ________________________________ From: "Morton1000@aol.com" <Morton1000@aol.com> To: txgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 11:47:01 AM Subject: Re: [TXGEN] backup solutions MB stand for megabyte. If you look at your files in the folders, most of them will say something like 2KB - 2 kilobytes. A megabtye is 1000 kilobytes. A gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes, 1,000,000 kilogbytes. The external drives you mention at WalMart are not big enough to do much good. You can get thumb drives (usb drives) that are 4 gigabytes - larger than any of the walmart drives you mentioned.
