Puter stores info. on the harddrive, which has many clusters that have a address
so info. can be found. If
you save "one word" it will be sent to one of these clusters, and that cluster will
be off limits to any thing
else. So that small piece of data now ties up one cluster of bytes. I don't remember
how many bytes are in a cluster and may have not been totally accurate,
but this is close to your answer.
