RE: TI-H: Radio switch
But if you say 32k, logically it means 32 thousand bits.... if you say 32K,
then logically it means 32 thousand bytes... it is meaningful too... If I
go around telling people "yea, I can get 1 "mb" in one second", then they'd
be like "cool, you can download linux in 10 minutes?!?" then you'd be like
"no, more like 80 minutes" -- see the diff :)
