> cubic-foot-BTU/Hr-lb-amps per KByte-MIPS.
Should that read cubicfoot * BTU/Hr * pounds *
(amps/KByte) * MIPS ?
Should be WATTs rather than AMPs, since the
power consumption is the key issue, not the
current.
In the interest of international relations, should
we switch to KG instead of pounds?
And cubic meters instead of feet?
How about KbyteMIPS / Wm^3 smallest number wins?
Steam driven difference engine anyone?
