For example, to be able to do things like: 1024*1024*1024 ... and get a response of "2M" (in COMP mode) or 1/250n ... and get "4M" BKGcalc was design first and foremost to provide the “idiosyncratic” engineering notation – mostly for computer and electrical engineers.

K (uppercase) means 2**10 or 1024. It appears Brad Goodman used the term correctly. This was my big gripe during the whole Y2k saga. All the popular press wrote it as Y2K so obviously they were preparing for the year 2048. I am thus confident that when the year 2048 comes we won't have a single glitch.
