Overall having unit prefixes for computer storage in base 2 makes sense. A unit prefix denoting 1000 bytes is pretty useless due to the nature of the byte itself. The problem I have is the naming convention. Having a prefix that means different things in different contexts is confusing to say the least. And since every other intellectual field uses the SI definition of “Kilo”, “Mega” etc. the onus is on the computing world to resolve the issue.
