The PC unit is Siemens, of course. Shame on you. Have you ever read
the SI manifesto? Use of anything but SI units is "denegrated" and
anyone who uses them is ridiculed. As far as I can see all of this
stuff is the produce of over zealous people without much touch with the
real world. I've built and sold radar gear for and to Swedish, Swiss,
and French customers and their main concerns were would stuff fit, could
they get replacement parts, etc. Never seemed to care what units were
used in our drawings or in our analysis.

P.S. I know quite a few college-educated engineers who haven't yet
figured out the difference between resistance and conductance, or clock
rate and clock period. Nothing can help them.
