  kibibyte
       
           The official ISO[?] name for 1024 {bytes}, to
          distinguish it from 1000 bytes which they call a kilobyte.
          "Mebibyte", "Gibibyte", etc, are prefixes for other powers of
          1024.  Although this new naming standard has been widely


          reported in 2003, it seems unlikely to catch on.
