The following is not meant to be a criticism of any list member. It
just needs to be clarified so that we all are on the same page when
discussing issues.

As a general rule (inside or outside computerdom) any word that is
completely capitalized, is an acronym. For example:

Further to your most excellent comments, I would like to add that anyone writing mb instead of MB really has got a problem.

I don't just mean this from a computer perspective, but the HUGE
difference between m and M is 10^6, milli and Mega are worlds
apart.

What's even worse is that there are producers of CD-R disks that
actually print "700Mb" on the disks and covers!!!!

700Mb must be less than 100MB...
