See my other mail, square meeters give a better representation
for odd shaped computers - and bigger numbers ... and disregard
the average tower PC :)

Naaaa - this would be again a by definition standard. The basic
idea of the SI system is to take everything aut of natur, so we
may end up with somewhat odd numbers for derivated units, but
straight calculations for conversion, and no arbitrarily factors.

Naa - to specific - it has to be stuff presemnt for each computer.
