Oh, heck, I recall the differences in the 1960's.
One manufacturer
would talk about a 65K or 131K memory and another would talk about a
64K or 128K. I don't believe that, when it comes to numerable items,
such as the number of words a memory device has (as opposed to a unit
of measurement) there has ever been any universal agreement.
"The competition only has 64K, but we have 65.536 K!
They only have 128K, but we have 131 K!"
Haven't heard THAT crap for almost 25 years.
(other than
"they only have 10.16 megabytes, but we have 10.653696 megabytes!")
