Tom Schneider mentioned a problem with the definition of bandwidth.
Apparently, the communications sector uses a diferent definition than
computer architects.  Bandwidth is defined by most computer architects
as bits/second or bytes/second.

Since we are talking mostly about computers, I suggest we agree to use
the B/sec definition
