I'm not sure it was 'rammed down everyone's throats'. I can understand pro-metric folk being somewhat against such a thing but those not involved in the debate (which is, let's face it, a lot of people) don't seem to have 'put up a fight' against such a thing. It just happened I guess.Although if a screen got down to 1cm thick I would have thought that would be a good selling point in Europe + R.O.W., US or UK - simply because it's a milestone. Erm. Sort of. ;-)

From: [email protected] CC: [email protected] To: [email protected] Given the fact that world allowed the US companies to ram inches down everyone's throats for diagonal screen measurements, now it will have to put up with more of the same nonsense. As televisions are becoming thinner and thinner, worldwide players like Samsung are now advertising the thickness of their television sets in...inches. I just saw an ad for a set that measures 1.2". You'd tink that this would be the natural place for millimeters or centimeters, but give them an inch... _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/ We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.
