This is an amazing computer phenomenon. As another verification
of this, look at the difference between 16 bit MsDos files and 32 bit
Windows files. As the cpu gets bigger, the storage requirements get
bigger too. This is part of the reason MS went to the fat32 file system.
Just wait until the 64 or 128 bit processors.
