Default OT Google is amazing

google has a new calculator service, as well as simple calculations, it can convert units, like kg/mm to lbs/in.

for example type:
10 kg/mm in lbs/in

http://www.efunda.com has a really useful calculator too... you can pick a unit to plug-in a value, and it'll spit it out in a bunch of the most common conversions and give you the option of picking whatver unit you need it in. I'll have to check out the Google one.

thats a neat site, nice to have all in one place. just major internet geekdom tho

but google is great because i got the google taskbar on my browser, which i constantly use for everything. nice to be able to do simple conversions. just needs a quick currency converter now...

It allways amazes me that whenever I search technical documents, like from Macrosoft, IBM, HP for example, I allway end up finding what I need on their sites through Google and almost never on the those company's own website search engines. Scaary...
