1. The integrated FX8010 was a 32-bit programmable processor with 1 kilobyte of instruction memory.

2. Byte: A single letter, like "A." KiloByte: A 14-line e-mail

3. The cost of storing or transmitting a kilobyte of data really is now too cheap to meter.

4. Intel introduces the first random-access memory (RAM) chip, the 1103, with a capacity of one kilobyte or 1024 bytes.

5. Attributes are limited to 1KB each, so your to-do items can't have a name longer than one kilobyte.

6. Ext2fs is designed for block devices like IDE devices, where the logical block size will be on the order of 512 bytes, 1 kilobyte, and so on.

7. Suddenly, an app that had run fine for years began grinding to a halt because SELECT statements that previously returned a kilobyte or two of data now returned several megabytes .
