Fencer: Yes, but that's "lazy spoken". Infact GiB would be correct. In original, 1024 bytes were stated one kilobyte because it is very close to 1000 and computers make it reasonable to think in powers of two instead of 10. But that is incorrect according to the BPMI, because the prefix kilo means 1000. So the compromise was made that 1024 would be called a binary kilobyte, short: kibibyte or KiB. The same applies for Megabyte/Mebibyte, Gigabyte/Gigibyte, Terrabyte/Tebibyte, etc.. But very few people use it correctly.
By the way: the 1.44MB floppy disk has 14400 kibibyte, which is 1.47 megabyte or 1.40 mebibyte.
