the Xmas sale allowed me to buy this one for <$300. I have no experience with any other

scientists & physicians in the USA have long used the metric system. most don't know it, but autos manufactured in the USA have long used metric, in part because of so many foreign parts suppliers. booze is sold by the liter. it's been my observation that it's the political & socially elite who don'...

wear. it's an unquestioned keeper.
