	MB

    (Or "Mb") megabytes or megabits.  When referring to
   the size or data transfer rate of a storage device which is
   accessed in multiples of eight bits (e.g. RAM, hard disk)
   this almost certainly means megabytes, but when referring to
   the data transfer rate of a communications system it probably
   means megabits.  Some years ago, it is claimed, "MB" always
   meant megabytes and "Mb" meant megabits but recently this
   useful distinction has been lost.
