[Elecraft] temperature sensors and "convert" -- totally off topic

[WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft]

In High School, 1953 to 1958, I was introduced to the Metric System in Chemistry and Physics.  I thought "WOW, what a system, I can soon forget the obsolete feet, inches, Fahrenheit stuff and use a system that makes sense."  In college in Engineering School I used mostly the Metric system which confirmed that we could soon forget the "English System of Measurements".  In 1978 when I worked in Scotland, I found that even the English did not use the "English" system and were converting to Metric.  I checked and only the United States, Burma and Liberia still used the "English" system.  I worked nearly 50 years using the "English System" that even the English found too difficult.  Now, I am retired and we are still trying to hold on to the obsolete system of measurements.  Even QST gave up on it 40 years ago!  Enough!  It is time for the USA to quit fighting the rest of the world and switch to Metric

Now this is really way off topic. Yes, any rig requires a learning 
curve... But math? And furlongs?
This has very little to do with Elecraft!
Just wait until Eric gets back home after the weekend, I can hear him 
saying::
