You are correct in that they didn't redefine anything. They're trying to point out that kilo = kilo (10^3), and kibi = 2^10. What I meant with redefining is, what people *think* a kilo is when it comes to computer terms. Wrong choice of words.On reading that, it seems to me that IEC didn't redefine anything, they sought to correct the earlier mistake and introduce alternative terminology.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
