Subject:	What's a megapulse?
Date:	Tue, 26 May 1998 19:46:59 -0300

With the recent computing discussion going around here, something has
come to my mind. How much is a megapulse worth in today's "data
measuring units (i.e bytes, megabytes, etc.). I'm using 8 megabytes
based on a somewhat quick calculation for a byte in a quartenary system
(64 bits, as oposed to 8 from todays binary computers).
