Does anyone use a Palm handheld computer? I ask because i made a small and very simple piece of software that converts horsepower to kiloWatts and back. Easy if you have to convert those often.
I could send it to the Boss, maybe he can put it on his site. If some of you are interested just send me an email.

Please try to use your brains once and a while.... the nuber of kW plus 1/3 is allmost the number of hp. (1.36 exactly)
kW is the official unit for "power". The reason hp is still used by manufactories is because that indication the number is higher, so psychologically the machine seems to be stronger.
And if you want to use a palmtop, please do, i would use it to translate to English, not my best brainswork....
What I've heard so far, the palmtops is to small to do the work a computer can, so it's always a very little helping hand for information. the mobilephones can do more and more. my two year old siemens with wap is old now, the new ones have with colored screens!
we will keep watching the new technologies!

There you are wrong AB, and that is just the reason why i made that piece of Palm software. One hp is exactly 0,735 kW (so one kW is 1,359 hp. If you use the simple 3/4 rule you get way of the real figure. And that will be used against you, at least in my case.
