||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.
