the 4.7 gb is a marketers' cheat, btw.
When a marketeer (ie product package) says 4.7 gigabytes, it means
4,700,000,000 bytes.
But that's cheating, because computers don't measure kb and Mb and Gb
that way.
Computers measure with 1kb=1024b and 1Mb=1024kb, and 1gb=1024Mb,
then it's actually 4.37gb or thereabouts on a disk which IS about
4,700,000,000 bytes.
Because in binary, each 1 or 0 counts along like
2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
