Yeah, Roman numeral "M" is a 40+ year practice that sales people used at the
wholesale and manufacturing levels as kind of a shorthand for 1000. As they
have migrated to computers this has mostly gone away because the quantity
fields only supported "ea" items standing for "each

EThernet is most commonly 100Mbps (100 Mega bits) while 100MB is 100
Mega Bytes. 8* larger...

: Calculate 1 MB in TSM
I cannot imagine how people reach 1000 kb or 1000 mb figure. These are
always calculated as 2 ^ x where x=0...infinity. I believe every calculation
in software is done using the power of 2. 1000 could be used by sales as
others suggested but how come they justify 1000 kb is bigger
!
1 byte=8 bits
1 KB = 1024 bits
1 MB = 1024 KB = 1024*1024=1048576 bits
1 GB = 1024 MB =1024*1048576=1073741824 bits

Good question.
We'll take Andy's answer
I've heard these referred to as "marketing megabytes/gigabytes". I.e., the
sales people use 1000, because it makes their products look bigger.

Good question.
We'll take Andy's answer as definitive.
Curiously, the TSM manuals say nothing about it. I've submitted a
request to Publications to have this added.
Note that the issue is somewhat muddied by disk makers basing the
