But continuing with fuzzy language cannot be an option, either. With KB and=
 MB=20
used for both binary and decimal units, users are confused about things lik=
e=20
500 GB harddrives magically shrinking to 465,6 GB because the latter one is=
=20
465,6 GiB. Consistent naming of the units brings more transparency in the e=
nd,=20
and frankly, I doubt that anyone really notices the "i" if he does not know=
=20
about that.
