You say what you have to say in order to be understood. I refer to
the format/medium as "1.44M", not 1.44MB. Pick your own unit to
make it come out right.. The fresh confusion over what "HD" means
illustrates the problem. Perhaps something like
3.5/300/80/2/18/512MFM might be a better way, but it's not likely to
be understood by many.
