Do you mean that, or have you dropped a factor of 1024 from both
examples. In other words, is B in bits or kilobits?
Ok, I meant total "bytes" and not "K-" or "M-" bytes.
And what is the formula you finally decided on?
Ok, in the interest of sparking discussion and to fine tune the formula,
it's:

BI
A = Area in square meters
w = Weight in kilograms
p = Power in Watts
B = Total storage bits (i.e. total K-bytes * 8 or total M-bytes * 1024 * 8) And all my machines, even ones I thought to be
'classic' seem have very
low Zuse values :
Blame Hans.
Am I missing something here, or are all the machines
we're likely to own
going to have rediculously low values?
Blame Hans.
