Having grown up with the 'imperial' system of measurement firmly lodged in my brain, I find all this Metric lark a bit confusing!

For example, I hate decorating at the best of times but when I have to convert the measurements of a room from square inches to square meters in order to calculate how much paint I'm going to need. I usually end up sitting in a corner gibbering quietly to myself!

All this changed recently when we decorated the kitchen - thanks to Converter by Robert Cooper. This is a completely menu driven program which allows you to convert:

• Celcius to Fahrenheit
• Fahrenheit to Celcius
• Centimetres to Inches
• Inches to Centimetres
• Metres to Inches
• Inches to Metres
• Miles to Kilometres
• Kilometres to Miles

Now none of us have got any excuse for getting our sums wrong!!
