Question #78237 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78237

Tom proposed the following answer:
Please can you let us know how much ram you have and how much space that
grey space is/was?

Mb = MB = MiB
but only approximately.  You know how it is with machines and humans.  Humans like to round things off, so if you say 1024Kb = 1Mb then when they see 1000Kb they'll call that 1Mb too <sighs deeply> <shakes head>

The "i" is meant to standardise exactly what people mean when they say
1Mb, i think it stands for "international" but i have no confidence in
illogical, imprecise, averaging human beings like us all to stick
pedantically to any restrictive definitions ;) heheheh

Anyway, there we go
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
