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.
