Same as any other device.

1,000,000 is a Megabyte (give or take)

1,000 = Kb
1,000 kb's = 1mb

Ok, I understand this...I am in IT for a living. Why don't you explain to these folks why it comes in 1024 increments? (Good Luck!) :) They just want a general sense!

Ok, why did they make it 8?! 10 is a better number =D
