I also need to agree with the requester here that even though historically the 
computer industry has 'fudged' the SI units to suit it's needs, it's wrong.   
And the correct current international standard is to use the MiB/GiB et al 
designations for base-2 numbers.     From using the "MB" unit designation now 
there is confusion as to if it's base-10 or base-2 which can and should be 
avoided.
