I'm pretty mathematically challenged so I was tickled pink when I blundered across this site.

The engineers in the bunch can probably do this stuff in their sleep, but for the rest of us...

I like it.
I always find it a bit odd when I am sitting in front of a computer and looking for my $10.00 metric converter because I am unable to remember how many acres are in a hectare.

Good point Ken,

If you (or anyone else) finds inaccuracies in the calculations, or conversions please let me know.

Even better: Use Google:

Type the following into the search box: "1 hectare in acres"

Returns: 2.47105381 acres.

Not better when you don't have access to the net. I'll keep my often used utilities resident on my computer where I know they'll be available when needed. YMMV.
