Floppy problem

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-01 22:31 ID:OE6UJtRt

I'm trying to put a file that is exactly 1440 KB (1,474,560 bytes) onto a regular 1.44 MB floppy disk, but all the ones I try my computer says only hold 1423.5 KB (1,457,664 bytes).

your math (and reasoning) sucks.
1048576 * 44 = 461.37 kilobytes.
what you're TRYING to say, but the cock in your moth is preventing you, is that they advertise megabytes and not mibibytes. megabytes are 1 million bytes. mibibytes are 1048576. teh differnce is small, but it allows them to advertise slightly higher capacities than they really are.
