Regarding #74; I don't ever remember seeing that, but maybe I wasn't looking
in the right places.

Regarding #75; Actually, if you want to pick nits, they do: the G or M or K
just refers to 9, 6, or 3 as an exponent for 10.  So, technically, Gbytes are
in the same equivalence class modulo 10.  But my point was that disk vendors
rate their products in terms of powers of ten, not powers of two.  Saying
KB was just convenient, as the kilobyte is essentially the first `real' unit
in common usage after the byte (that is, few people talk in terms of decibytes
or centibytes).
