Extremely Small Bits 


I was updating an old Windows 2000 machine that I had had unplugged for a while. I was installing Windows Media 9 (don't ask) - Microsoft has some interesting ways of measuring the size of things. It calculated the size as 13.300000000000002 MB. How do they split up the bits like that? Amazing! What is that - something like two quadrillionths of a megabyte?
