I am involved in a major project on the boat involving moving the house
bank (adjacent to the previously discussed ER vent), attaching it securely
to the vessel (including rollover security), sealing the battery box and
venting overboard, relocating the Trace, and moving all the involved
wiring.
Well, it won't be the first time I have disagreed with authority. I still
maintain that kilo and mega should be abbreviated K and M and will do
so until they pry my keyboard from my dead, cold, fingers.
And as for using kibibit to represent 1024 bits, I have never seen it used
I suppose because

Yes, using Kbytes=1000 bytes is called Puffery, used by sellers to make
their stuff look more valuable than it is.

Not so!
It is based on the fact early computers used octal numbering instead of
the decimal number system. This was simply a mathematical convenience to
start with.

I don't think you understood what norm said.I am sure he will debate.
On your last comment, you think Saxons had six fingers? 12 in both hands?
or whoever came up with the divisions of an inch? or the whole imperial
system of measurements?

Ah Yanni, you gotten da languages
Yes, I should have put the evil remark in quotes.
We have heard great reports about Vero and we tried twice to go there but were
denied entrance by the authorities each time. They said they had no room for
us. Anchoring there is forbidden.

Arild,
Love your messages, your experience is so deep, and your expression
delightful.
Actually, I might have Norman blood as my mother's side of the family came
from England.
As for carpenters cutting off fingers, I saw a mesmerizing spot on the TV
show Time Warp demonstrating a table saw
Norm is correct. I am in the business and we have to deal with this
when it comes to RAM sizes and Hard Drive specs on a daily basis. We
always convert back to actual bytes to make the comparisons even across
all media. And in reference to the fact we are now up to Gbytes, it
makes matters
'Norm - I am happy to hear you did not stop in this area of evil. The
Eau Gallie anchorage is where the Canadian cruiser was told by one cop
that no anchor light was needed, and subsequently issued a citation by
another cop for not displaying an anchor light.'
I have had several conversations
Wally,
your message came with an IE warning about extra downloads.
I thought we agreed that Text-only was the preferred way to communicate?

Wally,
Thank you so much for addressing the anchoring issue in Melbourne as
effectively as you did. It is just that kind of hands-on, face-to-face effort
that let the bosses know there are real people out here that care and may
actually fight to do something about it.
I had an on-going email
Arild,
