Actually Jim, I bet you a beer that I'm more correct than you are :-) The 
difference between a Kb and a Mb is a single order of magnitude. OTOH, the 
difference between 1,024 and 1,048,576 is definitely three orders of 
magnitude. But I didn't use decimal units. 

So I guess as long as I understand the units of measurment I'm using that 
government economist job might still be open. The pay would have to be an 
order of magnitude better, mind you, and with a good early retirement 
package.
