good point
Computer manufacturers, especially on retail boxed hdd's, specifically state somewhere with an asterisk that 1 Gb = 1,000,000,000 b
That is the correct number (allowed by the 'prefix?' giga), whereas it actually is 1,0240,000,000 b just because that's just the DAMN WAY IT IS!
When you buy a hard drive you ARE getting that gigabyte of data that you paid for. However, you aren't getting a 'gigabyte' in the sense of formatted, usuable storage, since a GB is actually 1024mb, not 1000 like the word giga (billion?) specifies.
It's not exactly cool, honest marketing techniques... but this lawsuit is going to go nowhere.
Well.. I thought about doing this a long long time ago.. about when the 10gb was the biggest you could get... though i was very young then =)
I think a 20gb hdd should be advertised as 18.6 and so on, so customers know exactly what they are gettin.. with more and more newbies out there, i find it very annoying trying to explain to them why they lose the few GB...
Atleast in that case, they have reasonable requests.. not like sueing them for millions of $$ worth of damagers like some might..
