Dear geek,
I decided that it was time to get myself an iPod so I can listen to music and cut out my mothers yelling down the stairs while I read my comic books. I bought a 120gb iPod, but when I went to put some music on it, it says I only have 111gb left. What gives? What happened to the other 9gb?
Sincerely, giga-whhhhat?
Dear giga,
This happens all the time with things such as iPods or external hard drives. Your iPod itself is taking up the 9gb so it can run. The operating system, or the programs that make the iPod run the way it does, need to be on the iPod.
With 111gb, you still have more than enough room room for any songs or apps you want to put on there. Without those 9gb already on there, you’d have a small, expensive paperweight.

We’ll translate it from Geek-lish to English, so it actually helps!
