See Mac specs in metric and imperial units in MacTracker

I just discovered this little gem by accident. I knit, and so I needed the actual physical size of my iBook, in order to create a laptop bag.

I opened Mactracker and attempted to highlight and copy the specs for my machine (from the General tab). However, when I clicked the specs, instead of highlighting, they switched to metric measurements. One more click seamlessly switched them back to imperial.

I exported the data, to see how that particular dataswitch was handled ... and, in the text version, the two are listed, one after the other.

It might not be a tip, but it was a nifty little feature(-ette) unknown to me, so I thought I'd share...
