Kevin,

  First understand that this is not directed to you but to your damagement - I have seen the "request" :-).   

  Why do you want a real-time, down-to-the-latest-byte result? This is absolutely idiotic. Whenever you want to order something with the likes of EMC, the smallest unit available will be in the order of magnitude of the Terabyte. I understand your management probably had most of their real-life IT experience on a 640K, dual 5 1/4 diskettes, no hard disk (pre-XT, ca 1985).
  Use 'round()' to the nearest Gb, it will smoothen the differences.
