@Mike: My two boys aren't old enough to be getting their first hard drives yet. :D They are more into XBox than computers at the moment.
Well you'll have to then imagine the disappointment when he found that it was 'only' ~931 GB. Still the biggest one on the property though. It's that thing the companies do with quoting sizes that confuses metric system definitions with computer industry binary tradition. So:
a 'kilo' of bytes = 1,000 bytes != 1,024 = 1 kilobyte ( KB )
a 'mega' of bytes = 1,000,000 bytes != 1,048,576 = 1 megabyte ( MB )
a 'giga' of bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes != 1,073,741,824 = 1 gigabyte ( GB )
a 'tera' of bytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes != 1,099,511,627,776 = 1 terabyte ( TB )
and his drive is thus only terabyte-ish :-)
Cheers, Mike.

Just watched Husani Bolt jog into the finish line in the 200 meter semifinals
The most memorable 200 meter race I remember is the one from my youth and is the one Tommie Smith won in 1968.. It was a very difficult time for America.. On the podium he raised his fist in a symbol of black power.. He was osterized in America.. Put he helped change America's direction and is one brave soul for it..

That´s interesting. If I come across an archaic word on a human authentication form, I´ll be sure to do an exaggerated wink at the computer monitor.
