Very cheap PICmicros®

[Acetronics2]

If you permit, the frenchie wants to point out little things ...

to Luciano ... 1 Euro is ~ 20/3 Francs ... seems some rust in your head ???
1 Euro is ~ 2000 lire !!! Wonderful, it's the first time I can get an easy count ... ( I'm 47 ...)
You should learn a bit from our count units : la plaque, la brique, le pascal, le sou, la Thune, le sac, le flesh ... between others.

to all "price breakers" : you do not need to give your client account n° to enter this forum ... Crownhill is just as RS : Service included ...

Now, I think it's a really a bit unfair to tell a restaurants' boss it's too expensive ... while sitting at one of his tables ...

I go elsewhere ( but to a Mc DO !!! ) ... that's all !!!

Hello Alain,

My point was that during a business conversation people have no
interest getting lost in mental currency conversions while comparing
prices from Euro to their old local currency. This is why they
still like to use the old local currency during business conversations.

Time will fix this problem!

You are right my brain is rusty and I have problems with the
20/3 French Euro to Francs conversion method.
(It takes me more than 1 second to do a mental conversion).

Try the mental conversion of 5507 Euro in Francs!

Below are the two 20/3 conversion methods.
(The second one is more precise).

Conversions Euro to Francs
5507 Euro * 6.55957 = 36123.55 French Francs

===========================
The 20/3 method:

5507 Euro /3 = 1835 ~
1835 * 20 = 36713 Francs

===========================
The (20 / 3 – 0.1) method:

5507 Euro /3 = 1835 ~
1835 * 20 = 36713 Francs
1/10 of 5507 = 550 ~
36713 - 550 = 36136 Francs
===========================


Best regards,

Hi, Luciano ...

I was just waiting for your " yeeeeesss, but" ... for noticing a more precise result is achived taking 10% off the result in Francs.

But now, thats the same as for English or German speaking : you must think in Euros, as you think in English or German.
You and me currently speak latin ( I still can read Caesar's memories in the text ...) that's another game !!!

I also think our price references have to be definitly converted ...in Euros.

One might have voted NO before !!!

I don't understand.
Please show me how with the 5507 Euro example.

You wrote it yourself in your last example ...

5507 x 20 = ~ 110 000
110 000 / 3 = 110 000 x 0.333 = 33 000+ 3300 + 330 = 36630... ( so much easier this way ...)

36630 - 550 = 36120

may be it was not clear enough from me: you take 10% of the Euros number off the result in Francs ...

error is always less than 1/1000 ...sufficient for a first comparison, no ???

Also note i'll never buy components for 5500 Euros !!!

Why spending that time on a 'PICBASIC' forum on those currency conversion when you can go there and have all you want.

Political, regional and whatever else thought here.. why?... is it the right place? This forum's comming an chat room for everything else than the original question wich was 'cheap price on MCUs'

Yeah i know i'm not the right person to say that, i'm just one other user...

I should shut my mouth but since moderators seems to do nothing here, OR they do their job so well than we never see anything like 'politically incorrect' bad or inpolite language or some reasons like that... wich is also a possible cause, i just like to place my 2 cents on those uneusefull last replys where they could just be done by PMs.
