| "Dave M" <dgminala@mediacombb.net>: Mar 01 09:50PM -0600 Take a look at the knobs on eBay (item number:162919395802). Probably the ones you are looking for. I see that this listing only has 3 available. If you only need one, then you should be good to go. Cheers, Dave M (I'm from the old school too) |

We dont use no goddamn communistic metrics. The only Meters we use are the ones connected to the wires that enter our homes from the electric power company, or the ones for the gas or water entering our homes. Using Metrics in America is like hanging a Nazi flag in front of city hall. It's unpatriotic, unAmerican, and politically incorrect. It's like sending someone to their death based on the color of their skin or their religious beliefs. Our red - white and blue Flags have 50 stars. Each is one inch in size. Our Apple Pies are measured in inches, not centipedes Out liquor comes in pints, quarts, fifths, and gallons. We drink that while proudly raising the American flag, before a Football game. Yes, that's FOOTball, not no stinking commie Milimeter ball. The game is played on a football field measured in YARDS, not no damn commie Meters. And we drive at 55 Miles per hour, to the games in our AMERICAN made Chevrolets, Fords, and Chrysler cars. I need a caliper that messures in Thousandths, (of a Red - White and Blue AMERICAN Inch). May God damn those who use Metrics. God Bless America. Thank God I'm a country boy!!! |

Good thing there was no problem with changing from " cps, kcps & Mcps " to " Hz, kHz and MHz ". Or was there ..... ... Phil |

You never cease to amaze me with the depth of your ignorance. For one thing, America has a long continuous history of killing people based solely on the color of their skin or their religious beliefs. And if you haven't noticed, there's no shortage of Peckerwoods running around waving Nazi, and Confederate battle flags. But since you want to rant about the Metric system. Wine by the liter is more and it's neater, It's here and simply that's all there is to it. But measure in Metric in lieu of obstetric is absurd and I simply won't do it. I can't use meters when comparing peters, In fact I'm a bit of a runt there. I'm shorter, but just by a cunt hair. -- "I am a river to my people." Jeff-1.0 WA6FWi http:foxsmercantile.com |

I think a "Cunt hair" is a universal metric, one that most of us understand.. |

| "pfjw@aol.com" <pfjw@aol.com>: Mar 03 08:21AM -0800 Lemme see: The Metric system was "invented" in 1670, in France. This was well before Communism, at that point "Protestantism" was a dirty word in many sectors. The US auto industry has largely adopted the Metric system so as to compete world-wide, and to standardize parts. Pretty much anyone with even half-a-brain that has done much of anything with tools over the last 40 years will be fluent in both currencies. Some years ago, I was working as a machinist making parts for GE for their engines. About half the shop used metric tools (shaft diameters, fasteners) and half the shop was using SAE standards (flange widths and thicknesses, fastener spacing). See, we were selling parts to European and Japanese GE license holders, as well as sub-assembly consolidators. As to KM vs. Miles - sheesh! I have driven in 8 countries on three continents. Only one uses MPH. One is courteous enough to put up the signs in both in many locations (Saudi), and one does so on main highways (Both of them - Bahrain). It is _REALLY_ hard to remember that 62.5 MPH = 100 KPH, and that 75 MPH = 120 KPH. And so on and so forth. And, are you offended to know that we are using Old Arabic Numerals for our numbers, and Italian (Latin) letters? And it was the Arabs that gave us the 0 (zero), allowing modern calculations? When it comes to the terms & tools used for the communication of mathematics and language, we AMERICANS have not contributed much at all. Be glad that you are not British, as you would have to contend with the Whitworth standard in addition. That would likely cause your brain to explode. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
| jurb6006@gmail.com: Mar 02 10:07AM -0800 The dish remote does already work the TV but I would like to be able to get to the TV/VIDEO switching and the menus, mainly the picture menu. The buttons on the TV operate very erratically. If worse comes to worse I might have to try giving the tact switches a big douche with cleaner and bang them a bit. That is the only way I know to clean them and it doesn't always work. The main problem is that there is no sliding action so the won't take to cleaning like a normal switch. And there are too many types to order new. So I am hoping the RCA remote has the functions we want. |

I bought it before availability of the 'universal' remotes which are pre-programmed with all vendors codes. I think I still have it in a box in the basement somewhere. |
