ANOTHER Quickie ?? With a 'Full' membership, if I purchase a domain, in order to have the email for that domain forwarded to my FM mailbox, am I correct in assuming it is an additional $1.00 PER MONTH fee with FM? (Thanks to ALL of you wonderful folks that have been educating me here!!) Diane |

Forwarding to a FM address with any of the account levels doesn't cost extra. The $1/month (+ $.25/month per address) extra Full account charge only applies if FM hosts your domain. There are advantages to doing this, though I just use e-mail forwarding with a FM Member account.
GoDaddy includes e-mail forwarding for 100 aliases (e.g., dianeATdomainnameDOTcom) if you register a domain name with them. |

1 GB = 1024 MB 1 gigabyte = 1000 megabytes because giga means billion not 2^30. |

(edit) In any case, since "mega" in computing is 2^20, if "giga" is 10^9 (BTW, to Europeans a "billion" is 10^12 — "bi-million"), then a gigabyte is 953.7 times a megabyte, not 1000 times... Last edited by robert@fm : 2 Dec 2003 at 04:08 AM. |

I think that generally Mega meens 10^6 and Giga 10^9. In computer hardware things work out more nicely using the power series of 2 and so instead of KB, MB & GB being 10^3, 10^6 and 10^9 respectively they are 2^10, 2^20 and 2^30.
I believe that robert@fm is right in that 1024 is technically more accurate. But when precision is not necessary 1000 makes the numbers a lot nicer . If you're just a beginner than using 1000MB = 1GB shouldn't do you any harm. Just my two cents, as people seem to say. |
