I'm old enough that I often find myself translating the metric back
into Imperial to fully understand the numbers. I was just about out
of school when Canada changed over (1970) and old habits die hard even
after years of using the metric system..  I still can't rate a car's
fuel economy without changing the numbers into miles-per-gallon..    B)
