The three most successful auto makers in the U.S., and possibly the world did just that some 20 or 25 years ago.  They went all metric.  I personally translated a few thousand of their part drawings back to inch so we could intelligently deal with them in our manufacturing environment. Now----lets take a close look at how successful these same three giants have become in the year 2010.  I could add to that mix Big Blue and numerous other giants.  Hummmm. If you want to survive, do not always believe all of what the self proclaimed scholars of the world tell you.  Many of them have no clue what work and profit are all about.  By the way, profit is really a good thing for a business in a capitalist system.  It can lead to growth and survival.
