Michael, you say that older smaller drives have more honest labels, but why should you think that the peculoiar computer use of mega-byte which is a misuse of a prefix with centuries of precedent is more honest. I personally prefer the reversion to the standard use of mega for disks. That's because the "small" discrepancy between 1024 and 1000 becomes larger and hard to figure for multi-gigabyte disks. Real data use is related to the real world, for example, if I have a document that is a million characters long, it needs a million characters of disk storage, not a megabyte in the "wrong" computer sense. I find the claim that this is deliberately deceptive to be without foundation!
