	1 gigabyte = 1 073 741 824 bytes, not 1 billion. http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_frCA335CA335&q=how+many+bytes+in+a+gigabyte

	nice job having both True and False answers... what's the point? also way too much time

	Yeah, if you're going to have one true and one false, you can't get them wrong unless you make it so that they have to be guessed in order. And actuary is right with the gigabyte, but if you still want to use a billion, you should at least accept "1000000000". Also, DOS does stand for "Denial of Service," but not in this context, which you don't specify.

	There's a bit of confusion over the meaning of "gigabyte" -- in some circles it means an even billion bytes, in others it is 2^30 as actuary stated. The term "gibibyte" is unambiguous, and means 2^30 bytes.

	"What holds the information the computer needs to start up?" should probably also accept "BIOS."

	DOS does stand for Denial of Service (attack). It just might not be the interpretation you were looking for (Disk Operating System). That doesn't make it a false statement.

	"primary device for permanent storage" should accept "hard disk".
