By the way, being concise often helps you make sense.



Then you should try it because your not making much sense......
You give some silly umpteen decimal place temperature and then you say convert it
and the calculator will round it off. Duh. That should tell you something. It means
after a couple places to the left of the decimal those numbers don't really matter.
So, why bother? Now, if I decided to do it on paper I could carry it out to a bazillion
decimal places. But why? Ain't no way a person can tell the difference in even a
tenth of a degree. Why bother with a bazillionth?

Cheers,
