For those of you who didn't know, the 'k' following a number stands for 'thousand'. Someone asked me this yesterday. After spending 21 years in the computer industry, I thought everyone spoke geek. I guess not. As far as I know, that's where the use of 'k' as a substitute for thousands came from, as in "10k bps" means 10,000 bits per second (a bit transfer rate, which by today's standards is pathetically slow; now we use "10mbps" or 10 mega-bits per second, which is 10 million bits per second). Now back to poker!
