Depuis hier, je lisais français dans mon ordinateur. C'est vraiment fantastique! Finally, I am forcing myself to become acquainted with new French vocabulary - I changed the language on my computer to French. My desktop, GMail, OpenOffice, tout les programmes... en français. It should be interesting to learn some new French vocabulary and have a little fun, too. Since I am running Ubuntu Linux on my laptop and in French, it should be fairly difficult for a typical person to understand what I am doing. :) I also noticed in my GMail account the following message: Vous utilisez actuellement 42 Mo (1 %) de votre espace de 2897 Mo. Literally translated, the prompt states: You are actually using 42 Mo (1%) of your space of 2897 Mo. The only problem is... what is a "Mo"? So, I looked it up on Wikipedia.... mégaoctet , une unité de capacité de la mémoire des ordinateurs. As it turns out, an Mo is a megaoctet, which is essentially a Megabyte (or 1024*1024 bytes.
