Dear All, I am fowarding: An email discussion; find in it what you may......... posters names and sources removed. Regards. MIKEY. Here's something interesting... If I put in $1.00 American to change to english Pounds, I get .7024 pounds. If I put in 1 english pound to convert to American Dollars I get $1.42 . It should be about $1.30. I wonder why the difference? -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Happy Hunting!~ -----Original Message----- Subject: RE: money conversion Possibly because your converter uses accurate arithmetic! :-)) Try dividing .7024 into 1.
