The 1970's were interesting.

I recall indeed that "K" was widely used to distinguish 1024 bytes from kB being 1000 bytes. I think it changed to the ambigous meaning we have today at sometime in the mid to late 80s.

Today we have Kibibytes (KiB) and Mebibytes (MiB) to further confuse the U.S. with the metric system.
