    The proposed (but not official) system. However, Yotta is the next to last greek alphabet letter - the last one would be the Omega. It could be that the next one would be the Omegabyte - which sounds damn cool. After that they should abandon the Greek system and go to something else - like Egyptian.

    Ya, I like the sound of omegabyte too. "dude I just got a new 80 omegabyte drive" hmm, doesn't sound the same when used in a sentence.
