Way past due imnsho. Because of my background of lassoing electrons and making them do usefull work for us humans, at least half of what I do on these machines is done in the metric mode. Twouldn't bither me a bot if it all changed tomorrow. Where they really screwed the moose back then was in playing with gas pumps first and not posting the gallon equ. They made everybody carry a pocket calc to find out what the price in gallons was. BIIIIIG MISTAKE, John and Jane Doe just drove around the corner to a station that still sold gallons. Eventually the metric pumps wound up in the landfill because the stations that bought into that BS were starving. I personally think it was designed to fail.
