You're analogy is a little flawed. 1MB always equals 1MB and so does 1HP. The physical unit of measurement is the same. It's just that the tools to measure were/are flawed. You can buy a computer with a Cheap processor or Intel P4 or any other one. All of them can ba rated at 3Ghz. Their real world, measurable speeds will vary. The type of tasks they can perform at different speeds will vary. The difference is in how we measure, not the unit of measurement.

Of course I do get your point. It is frustrating to have many manufacturers using one standard VS another. Consistency would be nice, but market VS regulation tends to lead to bizarre incompatabilities.
