Overpriced?

Does this seem over priced to anyone? It took me about 5-10 minutes to learn to read a micrometer accuratly. Is there something really complicated I may not know about the micrometer? Can I use it to measure the mass of venus or something? I feel sorry for anyone who paid for that. You would be better off getting a micrometer or 2 and just reading the manual. http://primetechnology.net/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=23&cat=Tech+Measurement Reading the Micrometer unit price: $79.95 ea. product code#: 510 This program teaches students how to read a standard and vernier micrometer. Windows CD ROM. Oh, I really like this one: Measurement: Reading the Ruler unit price: $79.95 ea. product code#: 230 This software introduces the student to taking measurements with a standard ruler. The program includes student worksheets and an instructor's guide. I must be missing something obvious about this site, but I cannot put my finger on it.

Wow. Just wow.

The site is honestly pretty lame. I hope that people don't actually buy that stuff...

Could be real - judging by the amount of error analysis and so on we have to do when reading our rulers here.

What's an "English" measurement as opposed to a metric one? We use metric measurements in England...

some teachers will do absolutly anything to get out of work, you'd be surprised.

and you'd be even more surprised at the number of people who don't know how to use a ruler, and even more so at the number of poeple whom think they know how to read a ruler, who realy don't.

How many people is that?

What I find interesting is that the micrometer kit does not actually include a micrometer.
