Apparently these guys have nothing better to do than sit around and dream up reasons to sue people. Sometimes it infuriates me that we have to put up with such ludicrous actions. Give me a break. Of course, a group filed suit years ago about the way monitor sizes were measured and advertised, and won. Did it change anything? Not much. The monitors are still the same size, it’s just now a 17″ monitor is actually a 17″ (16.2″ viewable) monitor. Lot of hoopla for a couple of words in parenthesis.

No wonder the US legal system can be called the “Legal Lottery”. You files your suit and you takes your chances.

And, by the way, if you think their suit actually has considerable merit, remember that ultimate drive capacity is actually limited to the file system you use on it. Different file systems use drives more or less efficiently. To make matters worse, file systems have a tendency to use “free space” faster when their closer to being full, or if the number of files is large. It’s a little more complex than I want to get into here, but it isn’t as simple as binary versus decimal.
