Dear Joe,

I REALLY don't care if the 'Babylonian units' could be 'neatly divided', it's STILL 
the same ilch as 12-3-1760 thing for linear measurements of the "wonderful" ifp 
"system"!...

Sorry, but NOTHING out of decimal would EVER satisfy me.  Even though I know I may not 
be alive when I see this hideous 60-60-24 finally abandoned I *will* use percentime 
very soon exclusively in my life!  ;-)

Cheers,

Marcus
