Most of these also seem also in use as prefix in various diseases... Good thing they have a lot of spare ones. :soapbox. I am a little concerned that there still is the discrepancy between 1000^n and 1024^n depending on the context. While we could get away with this when n was 1, now that we're at n=3 the error is significant when you confuse them. At one point I believe people declared that in disk storage context a GB would mean 1000^3 where in memory it is 1024^3. I think that's silly. So how about virtual memory and paging? When we get to Exabytes the difference is as much as between an 3390 on MVS and on VM. Rob
