Default The ideal Christmas gift

In order that the MkIV can be used in Europe, under EASA rules I have
prepared a manual which will be mandatory. The manual will cost $1000 and
will expire anually, the renewal cost will be an extortionate sum yet to
be determined. The manual will be renewed free if you pay me an even more
extortionate sum of money for a service agreement, but you will at least
be able to get spares. No service agreement, no spares. I will be trying
to persuade EASA to make sure that you will not be able to use your MkIV
unless you have paid me the money. I will ignore any customers who
complain, I just want your money.
Oops, sorry I should not have tried to do this until you have actually
bought and paid for the item.

Why yes, the MKIV is available in SAE, Metric, Whitworth, as well as

sub-miniature version in the very popular RCH measurement standard.
All except the latter at no additonal charge.


Is the metric version marked in the mks system or the cgs system?
