Jan, I would like to go to the metric system, everything is ten times something or one tenth of something else. I got all excited in the mid seventys when the state of Ohio put up metric distance and speed limit signs, people whined so badly that they soon took them back down. Oh well. I've had metric tools since I was kid, we should still convert. We use a sytem that isn't related to anything (except some old English guys foot maybe) and makes no sense because of it.
