Martin's just the UK Sales Manager, not a Director. Graham

The Metric system is an International standard, and there was a movement here in the US a few decades ago to make it our standard. But, (being an illiterate backwater citizen myself, trying to be humorous, but in serious reflection), the movement fell short. We do now have metric measurements on soft drinks & foodstuff, but we still measure in inches & pounds. Geesh, the UK still measures Guinness in pints. Hell will freeze over before our infrastructure converts to 220-240V AC. The cost would put the rest of the world into more of a depression than the USA has been capable of with the recent stock market slide. Then again, what do I know? It took us 8 years of George "W" & 100 years of emancipation to finally elect a black (bi-racial) President. Backwater? You bet, but .... what can you do? -Denny

A number of large sound companies use 240V for power amps. But this only works when you have 240 available. This is true of video & lighting, as well. But, you are right about about the US upgrading the entire infrastructure. Graham also stated that Germany & the UK are the only countries that adhere to international standards. How international can they be if only two countries adhere to them. And what about international monetary standards? The Dollar? The Euro? The Pound? Does not the UK still measure Guinness by the pint? -Denny
