I reject SI byte units *because* they are SI/metric, not just because I'm used 
to the original units.

Decimal is annoying. If we're going to fix units, they should be based off 
binary or hexadecimal. At least here in the US we have binary measurements 
for liquids (1 peck = 2 gallons = 4 pottles = 8 quarts = 16 pints = 32 cups = 
64 gills)
