found a weights conversion web site that has "grains" as an option. Very handy.

I have edited this post to put all the web sites mentioned at the top.

Matt,

Thanks, that is a good one. I have a similar one but it didn't do the all important grams to grains.

Jeff

Here is my personal favorite. It also does volume, area, speed, distance and lots of other things too.

It also has a turbocharger. Actually no, it doesn't; I just wanted to get one up on Matt.

To quote some westie in a commodore...."Turbo's are nice, but i'd rather be blown!"

Dave/ All, if you go back to the home page of that the above site i posted it also does area, length, distance etc.....
I just put the link straight to 'weight'.
buford

ahem, yes . Of course I noticed that, but simply chose to ignore it.


Dave

the site you posted is actually easier to navigate.

so anyone interested may want to check out both. (mine first!)

do the same conversion on both sites and see if you get the same answer!

My personal favourite: convert it program

You can download a FREE (cap'ed the 'free' part to attract you do-it-yourselfers) little program. I've used this one for years and it will take care of most, if not all, of your conversion stuff. Doesn't do people though.

I've a short cut icon set up on my task bar and just bring it up like the PC calculator- more convenient than finding the web site. Plus it's waaay better than your two sites.

Looks like this:

RC,

Thanks mate. That's actually the one I have on my computer to. I must be going silly (no comment) as I said above it didn't have the grams to grains conversion when it does.

Jeff

I have always usedhttp://convert.french-property.co.uk/index.htm, but I think that yours are better. However, Dave and Buford - I think that Jeff and RC win...

..... no fair. I'm tellin mum!

OKAY, I admit it: the downloadable program does seem to be a little better than the website of mine.

Dave

Yay!! We win! Cold adult beverages on yeoman & wrc!

RC

Maybe at the Vic high country hunt, but I assume you're not going to be there, with Vancouver being quite a drive from any part of Vic at all!

Dave

Maybe you could mail me a tinnie. Actually I'm only about 20 minutes out of Victoria.... oh wait; right city, wrong continent....

RC

What a great guy! I actually used this stuff today...



- for work!

that'll never hold up in court!!
