As part of fixing Haiku trac ticket 5378 we need to locate old obsolete units KB, MB, GB etc, so that they can be updated.

This task is to locate the obsoleted KB, MB, GB units, which are being obsoleted in favor of new standards, KiB, MiB, GiB etc.  We need to have Haiku checked over to locate any remaining instances of the obsolete units.  If you locate any, make a list of where you found it so that we can get these changed over.  Keep track of which apps, preflets, applets, add-ons etc that you have checked.

For this task you can run Haiku in a VM, from a CD or USB or on real Hardware.  Check over all apps, preferences, etc looking for these units.  You might even use opengrok to check the source code to see where some of these might be:
