The SI symbol for kilo is lowercase k, not uppercase K. I've noted a
convention that arising that K represents 1024 and k represents 1000. =

"Military intelligence" is by convention "FUBAR" (however dismissing the =
target audience is not wise in our business). If they want apples, I =

that end up miserable and/or unemployed.
I take it you will not do business with the American Military. Wise =
