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...
