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.
