NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology have proposed
"kibibyte" for 1024 bytes, and that a kilobyte should = 1000 bytes.

I saw a technical dictionary once that defined 'k' as 1000, and 'K' as 1024.
..Kind of like how 'b'=1 and 'B'=8 on an 8-bit system.

Most of us probably don't like the 1000mb = 1gb.
Since the drive mfgrs use decimal rather than binary, it is sometimes
a necessary evil, such as during capacity planning for storage.
