Alright, what's going on guys?!

I called Western Digital technical support to find out what I need to do to
get my U-ATA/66 drives to transfer anything near 66MB/s, (Mega"bytes", note
the capital 'B')like all the literature and advertising and even the news
groups are boasting.  They corrected me, and said that it is 66Mb/s
(Mega"bits", as in 1/8th as fast.)

Was I alone in the thinking that the naming convention of "'B' means bytes"
and "'b' means bits" was universal?

(Okay, maybe I am naive =)
