Question MB Tetris

I use my Axim x50 for music mostly and have filled up 651 MB of my SD Card. I really want a Tetris game on here, but all of the free versions I have seen are 400 KB and up. Are there any Tetris games which are 350 MB or less? I don't really know if this is possible, but I figured I'd ask.

Are you confusing KB with MB?

No, I am not. I have 350 MB left and most Tetris clones are in the KB range.

Just so you know, MB=Megabytes which is 1,000,000 bytes. KB=kilobytes which is 1,000 bytes.

Yes, I know. I'm just wondering.

Hence if you have 350 MEGABYTES LEFT, you can EASILY download a file that is 400KB. A KB is ALOT smaller than a MB.

:: smacks self :: I thought that because a KB was closer to a byte than a MB, a KB took up more space. The reason I asked was because I tried to download a Tetris which was 600 KB and it said I had too little memory. I'll go try the 400 KB versions now. Sorry for this. I'm not too good with technology!

If it was a 600KB tetris that complained that you didn't have enough memory while a different version was okay it could be that it was made for an older version of Windows Mobile, some Windows Mobile 2002 and older software comes up with this error on WM2003 and later.

Basically it sounds like the version you had was old, a different version may work perfectly well and yet be larger than 600KB.

More recent developments in paper-based technology include improved ‘write-once’ update devices which use tiny rolling heads similar to mouse balls to deposit colored pigment.

??? I'm confused. 1024 KB = 1 MB. If you have 350 MB left on your card, that's more than 350,000 KB of space. You could fit every single PPC Tetris game out there on your card and still have plenty of space.

EDIT: whoops - posted before getting to the bottom of the thread. I'm being redundant and repetitive .
