Ah thanks

Did wonder whether I should be saying bits or bytes (even forgotten the difference there too). Plus I deliberately said roughly as I (at least) knew it's not decimal maths we're talking about. Decimal? Do I mean decimal? I mean divisible by ten, or in multiples of ten or whatever it is - aaaah losing it again!
