Computers get faster and faster, better and better, but we don't change the way we measure them. 1MB is still 1MB. Imagine if Western Digital had a 1GB hard drive, and Seagate had one as well, and their measurement was based on whatever they felt like, wasn't the same. So you get a Western Digital and on your computer it says it's only 600MB, and the Seagate one registers 1.5GB. Well wouldn't that just suck. Maybe that's not the best analogy, but it's the best I could come up with, and i think better then the dial-up vs. dsl comparison. Improving the technology, definately a good thing. But changing the form of measurement, that just leads to confusion I think. Just my 2 cents.

Or also, sure dial-up is way slower then DSL, but a 56kbps is still 56kbps, they still use the same form of measurment. It'd be nice if the DSL of Dynos (apparently the DD) still used the same measurement so 1hp was still 1hp.
I see where you're coming from, but in the case of the origional dynojet, it was skewed to boast a higher number to increase sales of one product or another (be it motorcycles or dynos, i dunno).

If you debated to a lot of people would you be a... mass-debater?
