To gain some insight on this, try a Google search for:
k 1024
I've seen contrary comments from people who apparently know no actual
science, and who think that they know somthing about computers, claiming
that 1000 is wrong, and that only 1024 is legitimate for "k" or "K".
You have my best wishes in your quest to set the world straight on
this one.
