Great presentation. I really enjoyed seeing Pat speak, finally having a chance to meet the man who is a bit of a celebrity among us. Pat drove home a number of good points, with some excellent examples of how social pressure can affect the usage of metric. It was a pleasure to be able to talk to Pat and Stephen. All well worth the drive from the US.

Another talk by Pat Naughtin, Metrication Specialist from Australia, who is on a world tour. This talk is sponsored by the Canadian Metric Association (CMA), to be held on July 20 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in case any listserver subscribers are close enough to be able to attend. I was able to attend Pat's presentation last night at the University of Toronto. I wish that there had been more attendees, but it was a Friday night, during our short Canadian summer, so I can understand why some people might have had other activities that they wanted to do. Remek was also there, and it nice to put a face to the name. It still was a nice presentation about what Australia did right in metricating, and how they did it. Thanks Pat.
