That is great news, thanks!
OT: it's a nasty financier's habit to write 1M and 1MM instead of 1k and 1M. :P
Yeah, what's with that? I've never seen it before.
One cannot entirely escape déformation professionnelle ;) [People mostly write
1,000 but 1mm although 1m is pedantically correct for 1,000). Better
internalize the conventions if one doesn't want to avoid expensive mistakes
under pressure.
well yes, who doesn't always not want to never avoid mistakes? ;)
Anyway, as I'm sure you know, the rest of the world assumes SI/metric, or
binary in special cases (damn those JEDEC guys!):

Yeah, there's that, but at least 1024 and 1000 are still in the same ballpark.
Bankers are used to the convention and won't mistake M for a million (or you'd
read it in every newspaper if they did), but it does create havoc when you see
that convention being used outside of the financial context, or worse, being
mixed with SI.
