Great idea. Wonderful windows and views. My issue is the slide was horrible and construction pitful. I could barely move the piece that slides and it bent and cracked right away. Basically I had to break the unit, shave parts, reglue. Now it works great. Basically good unit with very poor construction quality.

Everyone should have one,
By Leonard Snerdley (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metric Converter (Misc. Supplies)
I'm a big fan of the metric system, and it breaks my heart every day that our country goes without it. However, just because our country uses a less popular system, doesn't mean all of its citizens have to. That's why this converter comes in handy. Thanks to it, I can live my life in liters and meters, while everyone else is bumbling along in gallons and feet. I use it to convert speed limit signs and mile markers (my car's dials are in metric), gas prices (per liter), and when I'm ordering a beverage at the local fast food joint. You should see the looks I get when I accidentally order the 250mL beverage!
I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend this product, and hopefully I can one day add to it. You see, I'm working on my own addition to the metric system, called metric time. Our current 60/24/7/360 is unwieldy and asymmetrical. That's why, under my system, we'd be working with a metric unit of measurement called "beaters". Hours would be "beaters", days would be "kilobeaters", minutes would be "centibeaters", and seconds would be "millibeaters". It's been a challenge to get the math figured out, but I've started using it twice a week to get the hang of it. Hopefully, the world will follow eventually. Get this item! Just be prepared to upgrade when my "beaters" hit the scene!
