IIRC dont quote me on this, it was the French that didnt like the idea that 1024 Bytes was 1K and 1024K was one Meg so they proposed to change it to 1000bytes is 1k and 1000k is one Meg. As you would have guessed everyone just laughed and continued as they were, unfortunately it seems hard-drive manufactures being greedy opted for the french method as it means smaller drives can be sold as bigger drives.
