That attitude is not good for Linux because it keeps away
the newbies. Some newbies become hackers, and even those
that don't can help by spreading the word and by buying

those distributers return bug fixes for the kernel.
To really see the problem with traditional MB and GB,
you should convert all these nembers to GB in your head,
using 2^30 or 10^9 as you prefer:
20,000,000,000
402,000,000,000
123,000,000,000
1,000,000,000
9,000,000,000
Traditionalists will need to do 39-bit division in their head,
while modern people just do a decimal shift right.
