Bytes is a Smalltalk extension that helps you to express quantities of bytes in ways that people understand. Hoomanz don't want to hear about 2469606195 bytes they want to deal with 2.3 gigabytes and that's what this software does :3

###Loading
Use this snippet to load it into your [Pharo](http://www.pharo-project.org/home)* image:
Gofer it
smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo'
project: 'MetaRepoForPharo30';
package: 'ConfigurationOfBytes';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfBytes) load
###Printing
2469606195 bytes asGigabyteString = '2.3000000000000003 GB'
2000 kilobytes asMegabyteString = '1.95 MB'
1 kilobyte asByteString = '1024 B'.
1 megabyte asKilobyteString = '1024 KB'.
1 gigabyte asMegabyteString = '1024 MB'.
1 terabyte asGigabyteString = '1024 GB'.
1 petabyte asTerabyteString = '1024 TB'.
1 exabyte asPetabyteString = '1024 PB'.
1 zettabyte asExabyteString = '1024 EB'.
1 yottabyte asZettabyteString = '1024 ZB'.
###Converting
1 kilobyte = (1024 bytes convertTo: ByteUnits kilobyte).
1 megabyte = (1024 kilobytes convertTo: ByteUnits megabyte).
1 gigabyte = (1024 megabytes convertTo: ByteUnits gigabyte).
1 terabyte = (1024 gigabytes convertTo: ByteUnits terabyte).
1 petabyte = (1024 terabytes convertTo: ByteUnits petabyte).
1 exabyte = (1024 petabytes convertTo: ByteUnits exabyte).
1 zettabyte = (1024 exabytes convertTo: ByteUnits zettabyte).
1 yottabyte = (1024 zettabytes convertTo: ByteUnits yottabyte).
###Comparing
(0.5 megabytes = 512 kilobytes).
(0.5 gigabytes = 512 megabytes).
(0.5 terabytes = 512 gigabytes).
