Decimals are O.K., Metrics are So So, I can use them when needed, but since
I Graduated from High School before the Buzz Word "Metricanation"
got popular,
My preference is to use Fractions and Decimal equivalents.

I even know how to use The Dewey Decimal System at the Library.

I didn't mind using my computer for one day without the UPS supplying A.C.
Power to my Gear.

I thought too that the new battery would have some charge in it but wanted
to Freshen it up before connecting my Gear to it.

Of course, You know I turn my UPS Off when I'm done using the computers,
I just figure it being plugged in the A.C. Wall Outlet keeps the battery
charged up.

Yep, the Nuvistors do that job.
