Welcome to the list, joee.
As you may have noticed, we are strongly opinionated, sometimes
judgemental, and never subtle about expressing annoyances.
My personal beef is with the use of 1024000 for a Megabyte. I prefer
1048576, will accept 1000000, but can't stand the use of 1024000.
(A PC HD floppy is 80 tracks * 2 sides * 18 sectors per track * 512 bytes
per sector -- how can you get "1.44 M" from THAT?)
