[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"According to the handy metric reference I have bookmarked, there is no such metric prefix with the abbreviation "X". So either it was an honest goof-up (which would be believable but deplorable -- can't these guys do some research if they're using real-world terms?), or there's a new prefix invented in the future (or one that's not on the tables I've seen)."</blockquote> No, there isn't a real 'X' metric prefix. But, fifteen years ago, there was no 'Y' or 'Z', either. I'm sure they intended it to be a fake prefix, just like how they used "quads" rather than bytes in the TNG-era series. [/QB][/QUOTE]
