The official SI prefix "G" for "giga-" means 1000M - it's the computer industry that misuses it. The computer industry seems to be slowly moving over to using the notation "GiB" which is short for gibibyte, which is short for GIga BInary byte. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte - Dave the metric pedant -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
