Using standardized SI prefixes

[shirish]

Hi all,
       One of the ways to drive usage as somebody mentioned is to
drive upstream & that is a good way. Make sure most of free libraries
incorporate KiB [0] & the mathematical stuff needed (No computer
engineer here, just a user who cares)  so things turn out right while
making sure that the end-user utility GUI's [1]  do show them & as
well as update things on wikipedia to show the new reality [2] :)

 As more & more softwares start using the standards while in
development there would be no more need to try & advocate usage of Si
prefixes. We just need to add critical mass & that's it.
