BYTES and KILOBYTES

The book of Proverbs says it is no shame to count very closely when it comes to work and business.
Now, when we are paid for each character (1,800 characters per page), we count in bytes. I simply count bytes when I am creating text files, because 1 byte=1 character. When you use the “DIR” command from a Command prompt (or DOS prompt, still available in Windows), you will get a precise count of bytes. When you use Windows Explorer, you see the number of Kilobytes. But a kilobyte (despite “kilo-”) is not a thousand bytes, but 1024 bytes (1024 being 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2).
