  1. On average, a typical page of text holds roughly 2000 characters. Approximately how many pages of Unicode text can a storage media with 1 Gigabyte of free space hold? Show the process of unit conversions and calculation required. [5]

Note: A calculator should not be used in answering this question; only an approximation is required – each prefix unit increases by roughly 1000 times. Also, the result does not include space used for illustrations and the like or fonts and graphic formatting used for WYSIWYG display, which would require some space. Nonetheless, the result gives a good idea of the incredible capacity.
