[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1224631, member: 24160"] I'm thinking this is the first post I've seen here since Snow Leopard was introduced related to this. (Well, at least since the first couple of weeks after it hit.) You just wouldn't believe how many folks have no clue about Base 2 vs Base 10 and how many "I have a XXX GB hard drive, but it says I only have YYY space. Where is the rest of it?" we use to get. Prior to SL, I'd bet we had no less than 10-15 posts every month from people wanting to know where the rest of the space went to on their hard drives. Then people popping up and telling them it was because formatting ate it and all sorts of other stuff. I would guess the number of phone calls to AppleCare played a big part in this change. [/QUOTE]
