It is the policy of the United States government that SI is the "preferred system of measurement" for trade in the United States. Those are fighting words. Whenever you offer cm and kg instead of ft. and lb., and you get a negative response, quote federal law! The party HAS to listen. That is one thing that all of us can do. The actions of one of us might just result in a systemic change that ends up snowballing into official US adoption of SI. -- Paul Trusten, R.Ph. 3609 Caldera Boulevard, Apt. 122 Midland TX 79707-2872 USA (915)-694-6208 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
