Well, now the US has made it's point and earned it's place in the history books as the final hold. With that goal achieved maybe it's time to earn it's place in the history books as the country that converted the fastest? greg >>> Joseph B. Reid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2001-03-30 16:00:05 >>> The 2001 Mar-Apr issue of Metric Today quotes Michael Milstein to the effect that Liberia and Myanmar have not gone metric. I have tried to find the situation in these countries through the Internet. My conclusion is that, although these coungtries can not afford to be members of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, they are going metric as fast as they can subject to their financial constraints. Travellers to Myanmar report distance signs in kilometres. Liberia is surrounded by countries that have been metric for a long time. The statistics that I have found about Liberia have been entirely metric. My conclusion is that the United States is the only country holding out against SI. Joseph B.
