: * 3,97 KB is the real file size. We will call this

: "Milk"

: * 15,64 KB is the size used in disk. We will call

: this "Bottle"

: Every bottle can contain

: only one liquid, no matter it is full

: or middle.

: Same is for files. They are stored in "clusters"

: and the size of these varies depending on the medium.

UNLESS you use any version of the NTFS file system with compression turned on. Then the "size on disk" is how much space the file uses and "size" is the actual file size. That is not the case here thou, cause then the actual size is smaller than the size, but anyway, just a little comment from my side... ah yesch.
