Ah .. but degrees F does have a reference in reality. To the accuracy possible at the time it was invented, 0 F is the freezing temperature of a particular mix of salt water, and 100 F is human body temperature. I know, it's a few degrees off from that by modern standards, but for when it was invented, it made sense. Sometimes the first attempt isn't the best one to keep. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
