That would be a nice thing, but it could also get very confusing. For=20
instance, imagine the confusion the use of MB and MiB side by side would=20
create. And Konqueror reporting one number while ls reports another...

And not discussing whether it should be done or not, just imagine the sheer=
=20
amount of work it would generate just to find all the places where the bina=
ry=20
calculation is made. It would be a lot easier to change into the=20
funny-sounding units than to go decimal...

I for one will be happy on the increase of memory, from 768MB to 805.306MB =
:-)
