Hard drives are advertised as being so many GB which is 1,000,000,000 
bytes not what us computer users call a GB.  This has been and will 
continue to be an area of contention.  I used to have a formula to 
convert 1,000,000 <-> MB (1,024 x 1,024 or 1,048,576 bytes).  Also, hard 
drive capacities are advertised unformatted.  Formatting a hard drive 
does take up space.

I agree.  Hard drives fail and users do upgrade their systems.  I 
received a set of disks from IBM when I bought my A22p.  I would not buy 
a system without a set of disks or I would be on the phone asking for a 
set.
