'mu' (micro) is lowercase Greek letter M (btw: a numerical prefix denoting 1,000,000 (10^6)) and a prefix meaning one-millionth (10^-6) (example: micrometer (um), microfarad (uF), ...) ;) Regards, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Pjotr [mailto:teccie@casema.net] Sent: 11. avgust 2000 8:31 To: Ryan Visima; Idm@Hyperreal. Org Subject: RE: [idm] mike paradinas u-ziq backwards qu thingy try typing <ALT>230 on your numeric keypad, that should do the trick. It's the symbol called 'mu' from the Greek (??) alphabet which is the symbol that in geometry stands for 1000th of a centimeter or something like that... (correct me if I'm wrong here mathheads ;) But anyways, Mike P. did it because when you pronounce µ-ziq you should say: "music". Isn't it ingenious? ;) Greetings, Teccie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
