Kenneth;

No problem if you are in the United States Military. They use the same system as Europe, Canada, and much of the world. Is that why the military seems so out of touch with reality? :)

Now bring your mouse cursor over the time on the task bar of your computer - that little thing located at the lower right of your CRT. What does it say? Mine says Tuesday, October, 1, 2002. How do the guys in Canada set their time on the computer? Are they British or French? duck quick - we are aboot to catch it. You can always tell a Canadian by the aboot rather than about. They cannot fool me! :)

>>>Having been raised using the English Measurement System, all this seems academic. In engineering college most of what we did concerning the physical world involved the metric system. The metric system is logical and makes calculations easy. With the English system we were always converting to metric.
>>>Our college Physics Professor at U.C. Berkeley could convert apples to oranges! Dr. Paxton was unbelievable! Why do I still remember 28.35 grams = an ounce, along with all those other conversion factors? Will there be no peace of mind? :)

>>I can´t think even in one good reason to use the English system ("Imperial" system, isn´t it?)... you know, it´s a REALLY strange way to see things. :)
