I don't know, Evan, but it sounds like you are the one who is confused.

Dave clearly stated 16 Mbits, not 16 Mbytes.  If you want to take issue, you
should do it over the size of the simms, not the math.  I believe Dave's math
is correct here.  You just ignored the fact that he was talking about 16 Mbit
simms.
