Please tell us why the change in units.

    Please tell us the reason that separates the unit of the GB and GiB.
    In Japan, unit GiB, MiB etc. is not used.

    Nuxwin wanted to use SI units. Was a long talk about this. In the end result is what you see.

    Please read
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte


    long time ago, a Kilobyte were 1024 Bytes - but more and more manufaturer began to use Kilo... = 1000 to propagate the size of the hd/memory.
    Officially (SI) Kilo is 1000 so in 1999 they introduces the kibibyte where kibi = 1024 (bi = binary)...


    Not all OS do use the official Prefix now - or still write KB instead of KiB... it's a matter of time until everyone gets used to it.
    For me the kibi makes sense when talking about computer memory (hd etc).


    Maybe best would be to make it configurable... ;-)
