Despite being post-decimalisation I still often only know measurements in feet, inches and pounds...oh yeah and stones (whatever they are).
While mucking around with a FaceBook post that was supposed to be hilarious, I wanted to convert my wife Susan's height and weight from imperial to metric.
Of course there are plenty of online tools for this but for some inexplicable reason I thought I'd check out the Windows 7 built-in calculator.
This occurred to me because I remember the Vista calculator doing more than the XP calculator and I wondered if Win7 had upped the ante any.
It sure has! The Win7 calculator will seemingly convert anything to and from anything else.
If I wanted to I could have converted Susan's height from Angstroms to Rods!
I don't know what either of those things are! Still, it is good to know...just in case.
