[Boatanchors] Metric system?

[James Liles]

Hi John:
Thanks for the response.  You are correct in the per second per second 
statement but when I said ACCELERATE, it implies per second per second. 
Thanks again for your response and a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday 
season to you and yours.  Kindest regards Jim K9AXN
