Class action lawsuit against Creative?!

So it's okay for marketing departments to defraud you?

How about, memory manufacturers starting to say that 1GB = one thousand megabytes?

I would suddenly be quite unhappy.

Sure it's o.k. Thanks for the info Mr.Bot. Welcome to the "banned" club.

You may get by the me for a short while, but you can't bypass our members. A very good catch by our member Sephis.

I think everyone should read the "Computing" section of the wikipedia SI Prefix page.

I would also point out that the SI & IEC standard was adopted in 1998 - it's been ten years ...

Odd. *scratches head* I'd say that one of me is more than enough.

Or maybe we might have gotten real 500gb hard drives? Just a thought.

lol you realize that if you were buying a "real" 500GB HDD you'd be paying more for it too, right? I'm sure WD could use two 340GB platters, make a 680GB hdd, label it as a "real" 600GB HDD and sell it as the same price as a fake 750GB HDD, does it matter though?
