ok.

about how much memory is 2GB on a computer? that means absolutly nothing to me, haha.

also, how big is a 200GB hard drive? and what is a good sized hard drive?

give examples like how many files (music, photos, word documents) those amounts would hold.

and are MacBooks great?

thank you!

~lol~ someone named "Kristen" probably isn't too worried about that. (yes, I did look it up - I'm a word nerd).

That said, mutilate away ;)

Good point (albeit loudly put) but carrying the hint of a threat grammatically. Might be worth sorting that.

I'd wondered if this was actually transcript of a customer comment as I was asked almost exactly the same question a few days ago before, followed by 'should I just upgrade my aqua iMac then?...'

[wyldthyng.livejournal.com]

well done.

~iz blind~ haha

settle for nothing less than 200gb of memory. it's what you'll need for most computing tasks.

200gb hard drive isn't that much- it will only hold a few albums' worth of music files. try to get at least three 200gb hard drives.

1) About four pounds

2) The size of a large grapefruit. Or a very small melon.

3) Id depends on how you fold them. A Space Bag will help.

4) They're not as good as beer, but better than reading the community info before asking a question.

also the macbooks are okay but i heard something about MAC embedding your email address into EVERY FILE YOU DOWNLOAD this to me is conspiracy

[two-pi-r.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* It was in the community info. I just HTMLized it nice and pretty.

I don't think the OP is joking...

1) 2GB is about twice as much as 1GB, which is to say, half as much as 4GB

2) usually, a 200GB hard drive will be about 4 inches wide, between 5.5 and 6 inches long and about 1 inch tall. That is, about 10cm x 14.5cm x 1.25cm, give or take.

3) They don't hold any documents whatsoever, but they are designed to hold lots and lots of ordered patterns of magnetic field. These magnetic fields are used to represent what are called ‘bits’, each ‘bit’ being the amount of information to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. These ‘bits’ can be used to represent the information contained in a photograph, piece of music, or document. How many in files in a given size of memory? Sorry, I won'tbe able to answer that question until you provide me with the ANSI standard gold-plated piece of string, and then and only then will I be able to tell you how long it is.

Short answer: between one and many many many. Approximately.

4) I don't know. I work with computers.


Hope that helps. Have A Nice Day.

YOU ARE DUMB. QUIT ASKING US FOR HELP. READ THE USER INFO, FOOL. THEN BUGGER OFF TO A COMMUNITY DESIGNED FOR HELPING PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

[catsidhe.livejournal.com]

Well, “nasty and ugly”, but it's the thought that counts.

[catsidhe.livejournal.com]

Oh, come now. That's hardly polite?

Far better to smile sweetly while doing the <clickety-click>...

[red-scully.livejournal.com]

LOL. Polite isn't really in my nature, lol ;-)

200GB doesn't hold as much porn as it used to.

[spooforbrains.livejournal.com]

Yeah, insist on Windows 98. It's the only way to be safe.

[kuang.livejournal.com]

You know, I never actually noticed that was the precise wording before. it implies to me that asking a question wrongly will result in your computer being attacked.

[bhall.livejournal.com]

Computers are for dorks. Etch A Sketch is the technology of tomorrow.

[10binary-cats.livejournal.com]

pffft. a clay tablet and pointed stick is much better. it even has a save function!

[bhall.livejournal.com]

Do you really thing we could allow them to have pointed sticks? Next thing you know we'll get calls asking how to extract the stick from their nose or how to dial 911.

Re: I don't think the OP is joking...

This wins.

[siliconshaman.livejournal.com]

Computers should really be reserved for those have more than double digit I.Q's.

[meitemark.livejournal.com]

2GB depends on how you define G or B, or even if 1+1=2 in your world (since you cant read, I dunno about your math)

200GB depends on how you define your zeroes.

200GB would in my world contain an infinitve amount of music, photos and word documents.

MacBooks are the greatest there is. I use at least 20 a day. Good strecth, holds a lot of fluid and flush easeliy.

I'm sorry, what do you expect? It's not a conspiracy, it's to stop people uploading the "DRM-free" music to other p2p networks.

Not that I'd buy anything from iTunes anyway.

To the OP, this is not the community for that kind of question, and yep, probably an macbook would suit you fine (looks pretty, hard to get at the guts of it, and costs nearly twice as much as it should)

[wibbble]

I think that might be the idea.
