Typo. The original text had "4 GB compressed", and that is
what I meant to refer to.

In any case, we're in a transition between "4GB = 2**32" and
"4GB = 4000000"; disk drive manufacturers have moved over, in
part I think because a 4TB drive is fully 10% smaller than
a 4 "Tebibit" drive, and no one really thinks of powers of
2 that large. I'm looking forward to using base 10 again.


(Also, "Mb" usually means "Megabit" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit
while "MB" is for "Megabyte".)
