A byte is 8 "bits", meaning that 8 switches which work together to define data. One character can be represented by a byte.
A "kilobyte" is 1024 bytes
A "megabyte" is 1024 squared
A "Gigabyte" is 1024 cubed
200 Gigabytes would be 200*1024*1024*1024 bytes.
To give it some meaning, most books are between 170,000 and 200,000 characters (bytes)
