MConvert X 5.1

/oldarchives/mconvert-thumb.png

The top converter of measurements! Great for educational! Including: Acceleration, Angle, Area, Consumption, Currency, Data, Energy, Length, Mass, Pressure, Radioactivity, Temperature, Time, Torque, Velocity, Volume.

Did you know that a United Kingdom pint is only 13.32 American ounces? That certainly explains why UK beer is so much stronger. Did you know the British acre is a teensy bit smaller than the American acre? Likewise the British gallon? We begin to detect a pattern here. Perhaps this is the true explanation for the enmity between our two countries — because size really does matter.

Yes, it’s true. They were all just being polite.

MConvert provides an early warning of lurking danger in the form of a bizarro-world icon. We studied this cerulean monstrosity for some time before we realized that it was slowly, inexorably, driving us mad. We then turned our attention to the application itself and were relieved to find an ordinary-looking conversion table.

All went well during our first tentative conversions (area and volume) but when we got brave and selected torque conversion, the window suddenly skittered off the bottom of the screen like a squirrel with a guilty secret. We recovered from our fright by obsessively clicking the two unlabeled globular buttons whose only clear purpose is to make us think of breasts.

Big glowing robot breasts.

We also enjoyed the super-large-print readability of the developer’s website, which provided this hot crispy nugget of misinformation: “All products are specially designed for ‘normal’ people.” We beg to differ. MConvert is jam-packed with fruity conversions whose utility in the lives of “normal” people is decidedly sketchy. If the developer wishes to target normal Mac users, we suggest that future versions include:

  • Alcohol content of beer — i.e. PBR vs. Stella Artois
  • Dip capacity of corn chips — i.e. Tostitos vs. Fritos Scoops
  • Macho quotient of sports — i.e. Table Tennis vs. Nude Rugby
  • Geek quotient of jobs — i.e. Marketing Weenie vs. Software Developer
  • Potency of chick magnets — i.e. Friendly Samoyed vs. Rippling Biceps
  • Potency of dude magnets — i.e. Tight Jeans vs. Low Cut Top

For $20 (or 2,980 Nigerian Naira — no thanks to MConvert’s pedestrian currency conversion), we expect an application with a little more junk in its trunk. Intelligent Computer Products, you are straining the outer limits of our credulity. Take this limp handshake and convert it to a 9.8.

Hahahahaha!!!!

My 2nd 1st post!

What does this software do again?

Posted by: Mickey Knox on November 6, 2003 11:29 AM

A British pint is 20 fluid onces whereas a US pint is 16 so I think that this application is wrong.

OK, now that I've read the review:

Oh, if only had this application before I went on my Mexican junket. It would have saved me the trouble of that nasty division by 10:

$1 = 10.9 Pesos

It was always fun going there before they devauled the peso, when for example $1 = 475 pesos. But then I would have had to carry a laptop everywhere.

What's PBR?

Posted by: El Capitano Corelli on November 6, 2003 05:28 PM

Pabst Blue Ribbon. The finest bad beer in the known galaxy.

Mickey: how does one get to go on a junkett? Is there an application or an essay to write?

Posted by: Nick on November 6, 2003 06:11 PM

Oops, I wasn't supposed to let that slip...OK, move along, nothing improper here.

Posted by: Mickey Knox on November 7, 2003 06:53 AM

If this software could make accurate conversions, everyone would know the following:
PBR = Pabst Blue Ribbon
except at Dr. Bombays in SF where Pixie Piss = Pabst Blue Ribbon

Frank Booth: What kind of beer you drink, neighbor?
Jeffrey Beaumont: Heineken
Frank Booth: Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Not quite. A UK pint is 20 UK fluid ounces, and a US pint is 16 US fluid ounces.

What's that in hectares?

Posted by: aussie boy on November 12, 2003 07:28 PM

A US pint is 473 ml, while a UK pint is 568 ml.

A US fluid ounce is 1/16 of a US pint (29.4 ml); a UK fluid ounce is 1/20th of a UK pint (28.4 ml) On a larger scale, perhaps for institutional cookery, it must be noted that a UK gallon is eight 20oz pints (4.54 liters) whereas the US gallon is eight 16oz pints (3.78 liters).
