LOL...yes. should've been an Eighth, but we don't have a coin for that.
Your math is right. I was just thinking of a Byte as $1.00 and going from there. Then remembered that bits are smaller, but they shouldn't be $1 because a single bit is not very powerful. But making it worth $1 or $0.01 would make the math messier.
But yes. Two bits are a quarter is probably the best compromise! Lol
If a bit is 3.5 grams, then a byte is an ounce...
That makes a kilobyte about 1000 ounces!
So then a TB must be about...a metric shitton?
It's a trillion ounces, I don't know how much that is in metric...
How many Oz in a Wizard again?
You have that backwards, it's one wizard in an oz
