RE: filmscanners: VueScan 6.7.5 Available

(Story now hopelessly continued:)
Actually what I told below is not completely true / correct. If 'bit' is
meant instead of 'byte', the shortcut 'bit' is used and not 'b'. 
During an assignment that I did at AT&T (Lucent) I made the mistake to
calculate 
522 Mbit as 522*1024*1024=522*1048,576=547,356,672 bits is 25,356,672 too
many. Luckily I was pointed to my error very soon.
