[Boatanchors] WTB: Xtals (even mHz)

[J. Forster]

Within the next 50 or so years, the name Hertz will have been around
longer than anybody alive. Problem soloved.

To those grumbling about S units, I studied E&M in English, CGS, and SI
units. SI (or rationalized MKS) is far, far simpler.

For everyday things I always use the English system.
