Let's hear it for SI units!

["Gibbs, S Julian" <s.julian.gibbs@vanderbilt.edu>]

Three cheers for Otto!  It is incomprehensible that the U. 
S. is the only remaining holdout for traditional radiation 
units.  The whole world has gone SI.  Even the staid 
British have done it.  Even obscure third world countries 
have done it.  I thought my home town in rural Alabama was 
backward--but it is no more so than some in the scientific 
community who refuse to accept change.  Now if we could 
just do the same with metrification of our obsolete system 
of weights and measures...
