YupYup, If we look at the 12.5 Mp snipped as plain text the Mp is really
small. If the snipped bit is Vrml or Rich Text with charts and diagrams,
MPs are pretty big... but what if what we are seeing is the transcripts
of a matrix conversation (recorded in all the detail the matrix allows)
and the 12.5 Mp snipped was snipped before it was transcribed ... The Mp
would be huge ...
