Hi Ged,
thanks for the suggestion.
I know the usual IT way is to divide by 1024, but unfortunately both HD,
CD and DVD capacities (which are the reason for my script) are calculated
in multiple of 1000 bytes, which makes then seem bigger than what one may
think.
I also think that programs like Nero burning return capacity as multiple
of 1000 bytes, so looking at the reported capacity and inserting it as
parameter in the script is easier.
However it may be possible that the default values I have inserted are
wrong.
If you have more precise numbers/other media capacity feel free to report
them to me so that I can update the script with them.

Opps, I used it before changing the way the results are showed.
Going to remove it.
Thanks
