There's several different types of miles: nautical, statute, scandinavian, irish, etc. Which makes using the imperial system all the more stupid.

- True but there are also many different types of meters: kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, thermometers, barometers, ... face it: the metric system isn't better

  You are right. But the metric system is intuitive. 12 millimeters = 1 centimeter, 3 centimeter = 1 meter, 100 meter is a football pitch, and 1760 meters are a kilometer (I had to google this one because I never know. The designers really missed out at using 1776 meters in a kilometer).

  kilo is a common prefix meaning *1000
  
  milli is /1000
  
  and you can use them for several units
  
  it's not like we use "irish" to mean *1.27

  No. A metre is always a metre. The prefixes are standardizex.

Was this made by Fujitsu systems?

It depends. Are you measuring from the marbles or from the winking eye?
