Handiest thing on my desktop. I get to deal with millimeters and inches
and ounces and cubic centimeters all the time. Could grab the
calculator but this does SO much more.

I have had that program on my PCs for years. I use it at least once a week. Especially when those pesky Canadians give me centigrade, meters, and liters. I talk to a friend in Fort St. John about once a week and he keeps giving me centigrade and then switches to F. in the middle of the conversation. This program helps a lot especially for some of the less common measurement systems.

Wouldn't it be easier to just build your engine and fuel system to be compatible to E-10 than to fight the situation?

Jim--that's always been my position. Apparently it is more fun to
P & M (figure that one out) than to get on with life. With the age of our coaches, the fuel lines and tanks need to be cleaned and refreshed no matter what the fuel is. I have no doubt a Q jet can handle E10 with no problem. I see no reason for any more modifications than that.

Yes, very similar only spelled correctly.
We can put up with the misspellings. We figure it goes along with the colored (coloured) money. Here people have learned how to read numbers rather than use colors to determine what something costs.
I assume you remember the Gimli Glider?

I had better stop picking on Canadians tonight. The Kaliforians will get jealous.

If you want to really go the extra mile NAPA sells a brass replacement float for our q-jets. That an accelerator pump newer than about 10 years old and you should be good to go. If you are a perfectionist rejet 4% richer too.

A,
The photo below shows samples of the current issue of Australian currency:
http://www.worldexecutive.com/images/pooled/currency/australia.jpg
As you can see there are $5.00 / $10.00 / $20 / $50 / $100 dollar bills:
They are all the same height but the length varies slightly. The larger the bill the longer it gets.
They are made out of Tyvek and are different colors.
There is a "clear" patch on these bills that contain pictures of plants, the Southern Cross, etc.
These bills are tough as nails and extremely hard to counterfeit.
Below is a photo of Australian coins:
http://www.internationalstudents.sa.edu.au/uploads/images/Aust-coins.jpg
As you can see there are $0.05 / $0.10 / $0.20 / $0.50 / $1.00 / $2.00 coins.
When the $1.00 and $2.00 coin were minted the bills in those amounts were discontinued.
A two hundred dollar gold coin was also issued:

There might be more to it than that. I don't know aboot Canada eh, but in Australia mite (IIRC) the larger denomination bills are
also physically larger. So even if you are color blind, or completely blind, you can tell the denomination of the bill. Also, the
dollar is a coin. The bills start at $5.

When I was in the military in some theaters we were paid in MPC (Military Payment Certificates). The MPC was designed to keep greenbacks from entering the local black market. I never knew if it worked since you could spend MPC off post even though it was suppose to be worthless there. I always did it the correct way and converted MPC to local currency at an on post branch of the Bank of America.
The point of all of this is: Guess where MPC was printed? Australia. Why, I'll never know.
