Subject: Re: [Amps] Metric system
Personally, I find working to 0.001 inch easier than working to 4 microns.
This is because I'm working to a single unit, rather than a number of them.
Beer is far better in 20ounce pints than 16 ounce, for obvious reasons.
However, there are some reasonable establishments in the US that serve quite
good beer in 20ounce pints.......
Remember the airliner in Canada that had to do a dead stick landing because
of the pounds/kilograms of fuel problem? Plus the space probe?
But for real fun, try integrated circuit design with feature sizes in
microns and chip sizes in thousandths of an inch......
