There's this program called units. It does everything. Well, it won't read your email. But you can do things like find out how big that "120 GB" hard drive really is:

You have: 120 gigabytes
You want: gibibytes
* 111.75871
/ 0.0089478485


What about cooking? Iron Chef Units can figure out how much butter you need:

You have: 2 tbsp butter
You want: stickbutter
* 0.25
/ 4


I hear they say, "a pint's a pound the world 'round." Is it?

You have: 1 pint water
You want: pound force
* 1.0431756
/ 0.95861142


Hmm. We should check to see if it's versed in the classical sciences, like, say, alchemy:

You have: lead
You want: gold
* 1.0519553
/ 0.95061071


Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to know about ISO standard units:

You have: 364.4 smoots
Unknown unit 'smoots'
