[AccessD] OT: SI units (was: Web site photo album)

Hi Stuart

Yes please, but - eh - you are indeed yourself bringing great confusion to the table ...

k = kilo 
K = Kelvin 
m = milli 
M = mega 

Of these only K is a unit (temperature) - the others are prefixes or multipliers.
For computing you have commonly (but incorrect) K to mean 1024 while it should be just k because k in computing is 1024 and not 1000.
Some good information and explanation can be found here:

Can we please all avoid the confusion by using correct capitalisation?

These are SI Unit multiplier prefixes and can be either upper or lower case.
k or K = kilo
m or M = mega

These are not SI Unit multipliers - they are quite different  abbreviations and capitalisation is 
critical:
b = bits
B = bytes.
