OMG.. do you mean I've been lied to all these years.. And the information been correct.. I could still have some of my hi-grade p0rn.. oh woe is me....

In this case AMD may need to watch their backs.. ..

*sigh.. yeah.. i guess the "educated" lawfolk haven't consulted much with the real world technical types..
these "educated" are most likley the ones who were also screaming "the end of the world" for y2k.. That is why no one sued for the crap in 1999.. ..
To be honest I am sick of explaining why the difference to customers.. perhaps the manufacturers could just put both the decimal size and the hexadecimal size on the hdd's then let the silly buggers work it out for themselves..

This weeks Customer Story
Customer comes in this week concerned that she was rapidly filling here HDD, and wanted to get some of her older files off the drive to make room for the new files..
und3rtak3r: You can use your CD-RW drive to 'Backup your older data.. as a matter of fact it is a good idea to keep backups of your data just incase something happens to your HDD.. like a virus or a power surge kills the machine
Customer: OK How many CD's would I need to backup ALL the Data on my Hard drive..
und3rtak3r: How much Data have you got on your Hdd?
Customer: I don't know, but it must be getting near full .. it is a 80gb drive and I have over 2000 letters and about 200 songs.. and 6 months of emails from the kids.

BTW: total disk usage was 4.8Gb, with her data being only 1250Mb
Cheers
