Favourites

[carlton23]

I must have about 100+ saved items on Favourites. Do they take up much room on the hardrive, or is it best to keep Favourites to a minimum? There are so many interesting posts which I like to keep from A/B`s and I learn a lot from them, Thankyou.

''Do they take up much room on the hardrive''

No.

Thanks snags.

Each favorite is 1Kb in size, which in computer terms is tiny.

Probably equates to about a millionth of a second of video in size.

(In other word you could have a million favorites and it would come to about the same size as a one second video clip).

That example may not be totaly accurate size wise but it is near enough to give you an example of the sizes we are talking about.

u can put the usb stick in your pocket

"Each favourite is 1Kb in size, which in computer terms is tiny. "

Quite true, other than the fact a 1Kb file takes up 4Kb on the hard drive (4Kb is the standard hard drive block size and therefore the smallest amount of space a file can use on the hard drive)

That said, even at 4Kb each they are tiny and really not worth worrying about.

Goldarn it, I`ve deleted dozens of useful tips thinking I was using too much memory, now I`ll do it all again.

Would it be better to bunch them all together in one named file?
