Size of an uncompressed image of the Washington Crossing the Delaware painting = 1 Yankee

12 Yankees in a Doodle

60 Doodles in an Ounce (entirely unrelated to the volume or weight usage of ounce)

Make sure to make the specific term "Computer Ounce", or co. oz.

Better yet, just use "cooz" as the "common unit"

Then it's proportioned following fluid ounce measurements from there. e.g. "coc" (computer cup) is 16 coozes.

Ayyy, I'm in COLORADO so this would be great.

I second this. It makes total sense - computer memory is a volume to be filled with data. They ain't call parts of a hard drive volumes for nothing.
