Most definitely. Some years ago I calculated how large an Mp would be in
modern-day measures, IIRC in a few different ways. None of the values I
ended up with really made sense in the end. It's best to leave it as "An
Mp is an Mp" to avoid all this. If you need to know the size of a file,
just roll some dice :)
