Dear All,
It is an interesting point that the media were clear losers � by many years
� in metrication in Australia.
Journalists were extremely slow to adopt metric units in their work, and
they were (and some still are) a constant source of frustration to the
Australian metric proponents. We simply couldn't understand how they could
continue, for so many years, without grasping the simplicity of SI.
Cheers,
