Fortunately in certain places where these things
matter (eg., pure science, high-tech, wafer
fabrication, etc.) metric measurements are
well established and accepted.

It still strikes me as strange that when I fire
up Indesign I have to deal with points, picas,
em-dashes, and similar arcanery.  Kinda like
my digicam with its synthesized shutter noise -- 
a pacifier for folks wedded to "tradition."
