||My SE with Apple's 20Mb drive formatted out to 19,019K.
| I'm not sure about this, someone told me that disk drive manufacturers
| label their drives differently than you and I might think: a 20Mb drive
| is actually 20,000,000 bytes, NOT 20*1024*1024. Thus 20e6 bytes is
| 19.07 * 1024*1024 bytes. So.... if the routine used to put the
| size in the title bar does it this way then you're doing pretty well.
Then again, it depends on the drive. I think my almost 1-yr old
Dataframe 20 has 20110 k free when you reformat it.
