I like very much about it.

I posted a msg on GUOS2BR about it months ago
& was said be a "purist".

The difference between 1000^3 & 1024^3 is very very big
is between 1000^4 & 1024^4 is a absurdity...

 LA> Is there any international effort about this?

Jargon file had a entry only about it & is said dont exist yet.
