Thread Name: BS: Happy Birthday Decimalisation
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Decimalisation
Life was a helluva lot cheaper under the old American pre decimal dollar too :)

39 years ago gas was 30cents a gallon!

In 1983 however, a Microsoft mouse cost $195! now you have to pass over $8

Fortunately it's easier to do decimals on fingers and toes - unless, of course, - you are a polydactyl
