Anyone who works closely enough with computers to have an opinion on this understands that a one GB hard drive actually provides less storage space than one (proper) GB. I'm with ZylonBane. They should have made 1000 bytes a kibibyte (therefore releasing most of us from having to use it) and left kilobyte alone as the proper term. If anything I will use kB or KB but not KiB. That's just silly.
