It's
especially egregious, because even IBM, who use
1024000 for Megabyte
for disks, uses 1048576 for memory. Thus, an IBM
megabyte
of disk storage
> will not hold the content of an IBM megabyte of memory! Seems like you have lots of energy on this Fred. 1000
1K
blocks. Is that a
reason
to fly off the handle?
Well, you're right that he's probably a little too sensitive on this, but it
is a stupid way to count a megabyte -- not even self-consistent. :)
Personally I prefer the 1024*1024 method. It makes the most sense to me.
