Your labels are one order of magnitude off the actual values, Bob. Say 
it with me: 1,024,000,000 BYTES is "one billion bytes" (and change, 
depending on whose standard you use). Of course one billion bytes is a 
gigabyte.

Same with the labeling of 1,024,000 BYTES = 1000kb = a megabyte, not a gig.

That's 1.024 terabytes, unless my faculties have wholly abandoned me. Of course, a black and white image is 1,024,000 BYTES, or 1.023 GIGS, but are we talking about black and white images?
