Marty,

A very good question. I don't have an answer for you. Just to many
people are scared to death about the change over. We do have a lot of
Neal types that refuse to change.

By the way; I've almost changed over and use factors for English. I
still have a lot of trouble with linear measurements. I convert to
metric after I cut the plank. Sorry.

Hey Thom. you know the saying 'measure twice, cut once'? Do it in inches and
centimetres as well then you will be quite sure...

The problem is that no matter how much Tom cuts off it's still too short.
