950K

950K is a term used in the context of the 1990s internet culture, particularly within the Usenet newsgroups. It refers to a specific file size, 950 kilobytes, which was a common size for binary files shared on Usenet. The term gained popularity due to the prevalence of 950K files, which were often used for software distribution, particularly shareware and freeware. These files were typically compressed using utilities like ARJ or PKZIP, making them easier to transfer over the relatively slow internet connections of the time. The 950K size limit was often a result of the limitations of the Usenet system, which could not handle larger files efficiently. The term "950K" has since become a nostalgic reference to the early days of the internet and the sharing culture that emerged around it.
