Let's get rid of this 1 GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 nonsense too then

Yes, I know address lines are binary. The problem is that my brain isn't. It's that network speeds and hard disk drives are now all using 1 GB is 1000 x 1000 x 1000. Let's quit this nonsense now and let everybody have more memory.

Here's a handy little table:

1 GiB = 1.07 GB

2 GiB = 2.15 GB

4 GiB = 4.29 GB

8 GiB = 8.59 GB

12 GiB = 12.88 GB

16 GiB = 17.18 GB

24 GiB = 25.77 GB

32 GiB = 34.36 GB

48 GiB = 51.54 GB

64 GiB = 68.72 GB

96 GiB = 103.08 GB

Everybody except the memory producers are using the correct system now, let them be next. This is the best time for it. Or at least let them use 1 GiB. Because I'm getting tired of having to explain if 1 GB of data is using 1 GB if it is in memory and more than that on my drive.
