I'm about half way through Tom Clancy's latest novel, Red Rabbit. I've noticed that (so far, at least) he uses metric units exclusively in this book (distances mostly). His main character, a CIA agent working in England with the British intelligence, uses a shredder to destroy a document by shredding it into "2 cm by 2 cm pieces."
Makes me wonder how much "feel" for metric Clancy has -- my $100 economy shredder does a much better job than that. I would think the CIA could afford better! Jim Elwell, CAMS Electrical Engineer Industrial manufacturing manager Salt Lake City, Utah, USA www.qsicorp.com
