Consider this quote from the advertisement. 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) 4.86 millimetres รท 25.4 = 0.191 338 58 whereas 0.19 inches x 25.4 = 4.626 This looks a lot like the design and make dimensions were in millimetres and these were then dumbed down to inches for some reason best known to the Apple Macintosh computer company. Who are they grovelling to?
