Stan and ALL:
It is unfortunate *Metric system (time & arc-angle inclusive) had NEVER been
understood in its perspective i.e. METRE when linked with Le Systeme
Internationale d'Unites (SI)*. My crusades with Metre, Metric system &
Metric Calendar led me to continue and provide 'solutions to impeding
situations' that have rised eyebrows, since I proposed several options:
<http://www.brijvij.com/synposis-n-364d-options.doc> that can lead to
'little or NO cost to tax-payer'. Please visit, my home page:
http://www.brijvij.com/
Some relevant input is at: http://www.brijvij.com/bb_metro-contrbn.2007.pdf
and at: http://www.brijvij.com/bb_ult.Greg-cal.pdf
My discussions with Calndr-L have demonstrated the possibility of "Easiest,
Surest and Cheapest" approach to Calendar & Reform of Time unit when linked
to Length Unit via redefining METRE as: '1/10^5th of arc-angle Pi/180
(1-degree).
I assume Pat Naughtin during his discources/travels, made some use of my
inputs, that we exchanged via E-mails.
Had John Wilkins (1668) proposals been heeded, UK and rest of the world
would have METRICATED long ago?

Decimal time does make computation easier. So does decimal latitude and
longitude. Decimal L&L is becoming used more and more as it provides
added precision since it is based on 100 rather than on 60.

Of course, they should simply have called it "Decimal Time." It is
certainly that, even though it bears no relationship to SI and is worse
than useless.
As we've discussed here before, many of the old card-stamping time
clocks (e.g., those produced by IBM's old Time Division) used real hours
and hundredths of hours, which was not a bad scheme for tracking the time
of people who were paid by the hour. It certainly made pay calculation easy
in the days when computers were rare.

No, not from Apple. It was from a company that produced this widget
