When indicating their amount of work, many programs print how many "nodes" they have searched. With the current speed of computers these numbers quite quickly become rather large. To be more readable it is a good idea to show "kilo-nodes" instead of raw "nodes". "kN" appears to be the popular shorthand. Now I'm wondering, whether the "kilo" here stands for 1024, or for 1000? I know that in different contexts sometimes 1024 and sometimes 1000 is meant for "kilo". Which one is it here? BTW, has anyone seen "megaNodes" in use? Regards, Heiner
