        I always thought it was "k/m/b = 1,000/1,000,000/1,000,000,000" 
and "K/M/G = 2^10/2^20/2^30".  Or was this just some convention I 
learned somewhere that I mistakenly thought of as an actual accepted 
rule?

        Does anyone actually believe that people will actually adopt 
terms like "Mibabytes"?

  Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
