I lived in Canadia between '76 and '79 when it was all metric. You'd
be surprised how easy it is to adapt to the metric system. It really is
nice.
BUT! Kilopascals ? Gimme a break. 32 psi I can handle, but 450 Kilopascals or
.450 or whatever. Uh-uh.
P.S. You HAVE noticed that ALL liquor bottles are metric now havnt you ?
Even the U.S.A is not a big enough special case to exempt.
P.P.S. Besides that, I have seen MPH/KPH signs around So Cal.
P.P.P.S Of course if you read this group you probably already work in metric...
