Actually, Apple ][ disks were normally formatted for
143,360 bytes (140K).
144K is awfully close. I'm still wondering if this was advertised as, or
is supposed to be, an Apple ][ like machine.
My guess is that you and the advertisers are using two different definitions
of "K". Note:
143,360 / 1024 = exactly 140K
143,360 / 1000 = 143.36K -- why not round it up to 144K while we're at it?
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
