the warranty people are supposed to be delivering my replacement tomorrow. Oh the anticipated joy of using a decent computer again! I can't help but think something might go wrong though.

What??? Inches used in Europe?

[KrazyE]

I thought inches was a bad word over there?

[sabrewolf]

while we (at least continental) europeans laugh about the your usage of imperial measurements, especially stuff like weight (pounds, stones, ounces) there are some things were we also use the old system:
- aviation: feet ... i guess they never switched
- nautic miles: but they are different from your land miles (1.852km vs. 1.61? km)
- inches: in terms of screens and TVs
- calories (actually kcal), because kJ just looks too much (4x more)
- gold price: ounce and kg

that's about it...
