Yeah, fun ain't it. Not!  We used to have a metric/inch convertor in 
kcalc a decade back, but the inch world doesn't have a quarter to call 
anyone who cares. I find myself making conversion errors all the time 
where my answer is off by a decimal point left or right.  Whoever took 
that macro out of kcalc s/b drawn and quartered, very slowly.

Working in electronics all my working life, metric is how that world 
runs. And it makes everthing so much simpler, but on this side of the 
pond, dial indicators come in inch only.  Its plumb stupid.

Either that or I need more naproxin sodium in my cold yesterdays 
coffee. ;-)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
