Memory has always been measured in binary units. Storage vendors have always measured capacity in decimal units, going back at least to the 80 MB (!) hard drive I paid about $800 for back in the late '80s. It was the first time I ran into a megabyte of storage as 1 million bytes, and gosh I felt cheated. As a programmer, I think in the binary units.
