Re: Using standardized SI prefixes
Hi all,
One of the ways to drive usage as somebody mentioned is to
drive upstream & that is a good way. Make sure most of free libraries
incorporate KiB [0] & the mathematical stuff needed (No computer
engineer here, just a user who cares) so things turn out right while
making sure that the end-user utility GUI's [1] do show them & as
well as update things on wikipedia to show the new reality [2] :)

[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Adoption
As more & more softwares start using the standards while in
development there would be no more need to try & advocate usage of Si
prefixes. We just need to add critical mass & that's it.
