Oh I should be clear too. We use SI powers of 10, just like for bandwidth, not powers of two like for storage. We quote in Megabytes because caps are usually in gigabytes, so it's more clear for users.
IEC 60027-2 prefixes eliminate the ambiguity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix Basically, to make base-2, replace letters 3 and 4 of the prefix with "bi" for binary. -- ``Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.'' -- Albert Einstein -><- <URL:http://www.subspacefield.org/~travis/>
