Trying to cuddle users by "protecting" them from the "confusing" MiB unit will only lead to even more confusion about 1000 vs 1024. Better to be consistent eveywhere, even if it means sometimes people have to learn what ki means. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
