Let us not forget a key point.  In the interest of advertising
and marketing, most HD manufacturers give the size of the disk before
formatting.  Depending on how big you make the sectors and other things
your effective usage of that space will various quite a bit.  They
also tend to round the size out to round numbers.

By the way, my 40 Meg Hard Disk actually has an extra 128K over
40 Meg of space on it.  Sometime you just get lucky I guess.
