You are correct..duh..that is KILObytes.

However, using 16-bit graphics, my original calculations are correct.

20x20 pixels = 400 bits * 16 planes = 6400 BITS. 6400 / 8 = 800 bytes.

13400 characters at 800 bytes (once again, 16 bit mode) = 10720000 BYTES

10720000 Bytes = 10468.75 KILOBYTES
10468.75 Kilobytes = 10.223388671875 MEGABYTES

10% would roughly be 1 MEGABYTE. That is acceptable.

Sorry...but I did that at work really fast...I'm really not that bad with numbers!
