 | | OTOH, for infrequent usage, you can just add the qualifier, e.g. |
 | | "The hard drive has a capacity of 200 binary GB.", "The bus achieves transfer rates of 500 metric MB per second." Doesn't sound nearly as silly as "mibibyte", does it? |
 | | IMHO, storage device advertising should have to list both, equally prominently, so the box should say something like, "Capacity: 200 GB (metric) / 186 GB (binary)". |
