broadband question

[Sailor]

Evening,

Virgin have a 10mb mailbox limit, but that includes all the overheads. The Virgin cable forum reckon about 8.2mb is the max usable size.
However, you have a 'free' web site on Virgin, as do most other broadband suppliers, so why not post your pictures to your own web site and then just send the web address to anyone you want to view them?
(That's what we do with ours)

The web space is 55mb, which is a LOT of jpeg's

The prefix m in the SI system means milli, or one thousandth.
The Prefix M on the other hand means mega or one million.

In computing b stands for bit, while B stands for byte (8 bits).

So 55mb is roughly 1/20th of a bit, in which a computer can store nothing, while 55MB is a whole lot more (and even more than you might initially think as 1MB is actually 1,024 kB (kilobytes)- and 1kB is 1,024 bytes - that's binary for you), and a computer can indeed store a lot of JPEGs in that amount of space.

Silly of them to use case sensitivity in either system maybe (and please don't start me on Unix), but that is what they did.

Just thought I'd let you know. Thank you for reading. Bye now.
