Hi, Franz.


Like you, some of us old farts have used certain units for most of our careers.  We also do so for practical reasons.  The outdated and retarded computer codes that we use require inputs in certain units like nanoacre, or in my field, kW/ft and such, and they also report the results in similar terms.


But I work for an international company, and I am also conscious of the global environment we live in, so when I write a report, I either convert to SI units, or if my customer is US-based, I simply include both sets of units.  So for anyone who wants to change the world, that's how you go about it.


For the record, I was taught both sets of units in high school in the 80's, and have a preference for SI units, but I really don't care what units anyone uses as long as their answer is correct.  :-)

Happy birthday!   You have now had as much fun as three 24-year-olds!  I got you a screen cleaner for your birthday present...
