Hey. Is there any way, i.e program that will allow the counting of space in SL to go back to base 2? As you probably know SL change from 1024=1gb to 1000mb=1gb. Any way to change it back? And why did Apple do this?
Got a tip for us?

No.
Because hard drive manufacturers use base-10 (1KB = 1000 bytes, etc.) and customers ALWAYS complain about missing space.
