If something more reasonable comes along, I might reconsider. But saying "Kiba-Miba-Giba" makes you sound like a drunken chimp with a lisp and an overbite. Try going into Best Buy or Fry's and asking for a spool of "700 Mibabyte CD-R's." Then tell me which is more confusing. :-) I'd also like to point out that it's 'k' and not 'K'.
