The sooner you guys go metric, the better.

I'm all for metric. My guitar project used metric, imperial fractions and decimals. Talk about confusing!

Talked to the guy I got my Shark Tuner from today. Really weird that the stock chip runs fine, but the PEM dies after a while. He is sending a know good computer with PEM installed to try and see if it is my computer or a sensor or wiring in the car frying the PEM. The PEM is a small circuit board and chip that replaces the ECU chip to allow data logging and reprogramming the ECU functions with a PC connected to the diagnostic port.

I assume you heard about one of the failed Mars rover landings and the JPL metric vs. NASA english units screw up.

I think most big industries here use metric and do so because they are multinational. I am not sure but I would suspect there are a lot of parts on new Fords that are metric sizes since they sell cars in metric countries.

Are you hanging out with any friends these days? You need more distractions, other than walking the beach by yourself.

I'm sure there will be alcohol present... That's always good for a hangover. Feed it with more alcohol!
