That's why I don't own a digital caliper. Mine all have dials (except the 36" Starrett vernier) and I've never had a dead battery in 17 years. I even have a couple (one at work, one at home) 6" dual-needle dial calipers that read in metric and inches. -- John Kasunich [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
