Stumped

[Adam Albright]

This is probably just a marketing ploy to make their drives appear to have a
larger capacity than they really do. You know, "size matters" and all that.


As it should be everywhere.


Indeed.

If you guys wallowed into any deeper bullshit you'd drown.

The way hard drive manufacturers have been marketing the "size" of
their hard drives has been established (though inaccurate) for
decades. They aren't about to change now to please some pencil pushing
wannabe geeks who just happened to stumble unto some web page and
managed to cut and paste a formula into a backwater newsgroup for ego
stroking purposes.

Hope that wasn't too blunt. <snicker>
