Until a couple of years ago I wasn't aware of the difference between Mb and MB.
The one thing that annoys me is the mixing up of using "disc" and
"disk". Floppies are disks (short for diskettes), not discs.
Discs are usually CD's, or vinyl records (though I have never heard them called a
vinyl discs).

Actually, doesn't mb imply "millibit", and mB is
"millibyte", with Mb as "megabit" and MB as
"megabyte"?
