(there are no pop ups with this site..just a sidebar for donations and such) I don't personally don't know anyone that loves pop-ups and banner ads.

Answer to:
What's the difference between MB and GB when speaking about the specifications of a hard drive (or any other time, really)? To clear up the obvious here. Both answers here are correct, depending on how your HD is set up [which manufacturer]. Western Digital considers a gigabyte to be 1000 megabytes. Windows uses the 1,024 preference. So in short, a gigabyte can be considered either 1,000 megabytes or 1,024 megabytes.
