By now we have demoed a couple of times, I find this kind of discussion
difficult to type accurately.  Here I probably actually meant to say:

If I'm selling, given that same fixed price, then I want to sell one
terabyte, not the approximately 1.099511627776 terabytes that is one
tebibyte.

All clear now?
