If you can point me to an international standard confirming what you said, I'll
admit my ignorance publicily. Honestly, I doubt such a standard exists. AFAIK,
both MB and Mb are used for MegaB(b)ytes. Once people used the case to
distinguish between bytes and bits, but not nowadays. I don't have a dictionary
handy right now, but here are few URLs:

Please read my sentence above again carefully. I hope I expressed my opinion
about the Weizmann CC's relation towards Linux quite well. I did ask few times
about setting up a Linux-related ftp area at Weizmann, saying I agree to
maintain it voluntarily.
