And a scheme which is long overdue. Even the country that invented the
ridiculous Imperial system of measurement has abandoned it and we should
bloody well join them. It was a stupid system to begin with and it remains a
stupid system today.

But I do agree with you about the cps/Hz thing. Especially since it has
nothing to do with the Metric system of measurement.... I still catch myself
automatically typing cps from time to time. My brain may know better but my
fingers kind of run on by themselves.

(And a Merry Christmas to you and Barbara, Joe....)
