This statement doesn't make sense to me:

"The default size for an mdf is 2MB and 1MB for an ldf, based on the model database".

It can't default to 2mb/1mb AND default to the values in the model db. How can it default to 2 different things?? It has to be one or the other, surely...

If it is based on the model database, then the default size is whatever is specified in the model db, in my case 100mb/10mb.
