errr... and this is not true ? I thought that it is 2.57 cm == 25.7 mm ?
Have I missed something imporant ? :-O

No, Michael, you didn't miss anything important, except for people that 
insist on being precise.  It is that you were off by just a hair.  1 inch = 
25.4 mm.  (Of course, since most Americans don't have the slightest 
understanding of the metric system, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference 
to them what you said.)
