Roger,
Well said - surely we're not now dependant on the Internet to do
multiplication for us !!!! I had to check the date to make sure it
wasn't April 1st.
Converting cm to inches is easy - multiply by 4 and shift the decimal
point one place left. That'll get you within 1.6% accuracy which is
adequate from many applications.
If you really must use the computer keyboard, why not use the Windows
Calculator.
Me - I'll stick to my trusty HP-41 pocket calculator for the ones I
can't do in my head :)
73,
