Pages: 16 Exabytes

Pages just asked OS X for 16 Exabytes. Got a clue just how large that is?

So I decided to make some business cards using Pages, however after adding a few tiny JPGs, I started getting the spinning beach ball — you know the one, the one you’re never supposed to get in OS X.

So, I decided to open Activity Monitor to see what was up.

Pages had allocated 16 Exabytes of memory. My computer has 6 Gig.

Remember, it goes from Megabytes, to Gigabytes (1,000Meg), to Terabytes (1,000Gig), to Petabytes (1,000 TB), to Exabytes (1,000 PB).
