I just had a random thought -- so disregard if too off-topic:
is the information about 'free space', 'what is a kb' and 'how to remove a journal entry if you need to' and similar ideas around the issue of 'file size' 'MB vs KB'  part of the basic or intermediate training to kids? is it part of the sugar website/wiki and should it? Or 'will these ideas be confusing to all kids or only some kids (and teachers)'.
