I've heard this before, and I do believe that the first CCIE# given out was
1025.....  but I also have to believe that part about 1024 being chosen
because of the "kill ya (Kilo)" and "hurts (hertz)" is nonsense.... I say
that because in the non-binary world Kilo = 1000.... not 1024.....  and
since Hertz has been around much longer than bits and bytes, I seriously
doubt any scientist considers 1 KiloHertz to equal 1024 Hertz.....  =)
