Actually , when marketing departments first came up with this hedge,  
they were selling drives as "80 million byte drives," because they  
knew people would expect an "80 megabyte" drive to have 80*1024*1024  
bytes.  Somewhere along the line that qualification sort of fell by  
the wayside.

(And incidentally, now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen a  
speed limit sign that gave the units.  Although oddly, the yellow  
speed advisory signs for curves often do.)
