For your entertainment, here are the usage numbers from the linux-2.6.17 kernel: kilobyte (-i) 82 kibibyte (-i) 2 megabyte (-i) 98 mebibyte (-i) 0 gigabyte (-i) 32 gibibyte (-i) 0 KB 1151 kB 407 KiB 181 MB 3830 MiB 298 GB 815 GiB 17 So I remain unconvinced. Of course, your general point is a good one. If there are actually systems using this, it might be worth considering. But if not, then we're just going to confuse people. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
