Re: free conversion download

Thanks Bill. Very comprehensive program. It'll save me going onto the net for my conversions in future.

BTW why are US volume measurements not the same as Imperial? Is it the Boston uprising thing?

Ian, you sound like my friend, Dave Wood. And yes, it is the Boston tea thing,
plus you guys went metric long before we did :)

Re: free conversion download

Although offically we went metric a while ago my brain thinks in Imperial......... Much more character in feet and inches etc. Plus a lot of my school days were spent learning tables etc. Calculators were not even conceived, apart from comptometers and they weren't exactly pocket sized. So they make calculators available for the price of a beer and then change to a base 10 system that doesn't need a calculator. Life increasingly makes less sense to me. :confused:
