You need to quit dating yourself and give some credit to the programmers
who tried to get it right while dealing with people like you who are
telling them the wrong thing.  1GB, by SI standards, is 1000MB.
Seriously, I was raised and trained in binary too, but the buggers
changed the standards on us in 1998.

one gigabyte     1 GB = 10^9 B = 1 000 000 000 B
