Memory funny <?>

6 replies · 1,952 views · Started 16 December 2002

My 'memory' displays this :

calandar 777B
contacts 61kB
documents 180B
messages 520kB
images 552kB
sound files 101kB
applications 88kB
mem in use 2993kB
free memory 1100kB

First off, what's the difference between B and kB? B is really small, right? Secondly, I have nothing in my calandar ... where does 777 come from? In my 'manager' I have 7 programs installed equalling 986kB. Aren't these applications? Then where is this listed? If I add up that list, I don't get nearly 3MB in use. What are documents actually? I'm pretty sure I've got something messed up (probably B, kB and MB) How does it work though?

1MG = 1024 KB = 1024 B
OR
1024B= 1 KB
1024KB = 1MG

IT IS THE MEASUREMENT OF STORAGE

I HOPE I AM RIGHT

But you're focusing on the wrong parts of the post 😉 The main question is : why is calandar got 777 if nothing is in there? What are documents? Why is apps so low if I KNOW my downloaded programs are nearly 1MB?

Well,777B is very small amount of memory,probably they are some calendar app configiuration setings.

You are probably right,but that is not the point here.I dont see why Dobly is so worried,its only 777B,when he has got 3999223 left 😃[/code]
