Before you translate it to English, you should get the Dutch on your
website right. I don't really speak Dutch, but I strongly believe that
the plural-s doesn't get an apostrophe. Further, the small m stands for
milli, if you mean mega, use the capital M. Likewise, b stands for bit,
while I think you mean B, bite. Gna, gna, gna..... 8-)


If you start correcting other people, please get your facts strait first. On
the apostrophe: the useage is correct. The rules are a bit complicated to
explain (and this isn't alt.language.*), but sometimes an apostrophe is
called for for plurals in Dutch. On the bits and bytes (yes, with a y and
not an i): there is no official definition on that. Because milli doesn't
make sence in the context of bits and bytes, there is no confusion on using
a small m here.
