1 bit = a 1 or 0 (b); 4 bits = 1 nybble (?); 8 bits = 1 byte (B); 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB); 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte (MB); 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB); 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte (TB); ... The string of code: 10010101 is exactly one byte. So a small gif image, about 4 KB has about 4000 lines of 8 1's and 0's.

Just to point this out: Kilo = 1000; Mega = 1 000 000; The correct definition of 1024 bytes is one KibiByte. Don't know the correct definition of 1024KB tho... :-S; Ofcourse noone ever says kibibyte, just thought I'd point it out.
