Hey, I was only being pedantic :-) I quite often use the wrong terminology
too (like 9600 baud modems for example, although I don't refer to 56K
modems as 56K baud - well, hardly ever :-)

There used to be a standard question in one of the Computer Science courses
I took where you had to know the difference - caught lots of students out
with that one!
