This is 1996, and a disk MB is 10^^6, like it or not.
Linux should be compatible with the rest of the world.

No. This is year 1.95k and a disk and any other MB is 2^^20 (that was a
little extremist :-).
Count me among those who want real world figures in Linux, not cheapy
marketroid MBs.
Remember, when something is advertised as being "under $1000", it sure
won't cost $428.

Sorry for the bandwidth, I just couldn't resist it.
