You are correct, Bill (Potts). Both Bill (Harper) and I posted misstatements of c. I wrote m/s for the unit which belongs with 3 x 10^8. It is the submultiple cm/s which belongs with 10^10, which many of us learned before the introduction of SI in 1960, and continue to confuse when careless memories prevail.
