So why is the siemens marked as 'no longer in use'? The SI website at BIPM (http://www.bipm.org/en/si ) doesn't mention any of this. Please explain.

Up till a year ago I used siemens almost every day at work, so I'd say they're still used. Gentgeen 07:09, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Sorry for the hasty edit. I stand corrected. [1] --Uncle Ed 15:26, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Can I add milliHelen (after Helen of Troy) ? It throws up 689 Google hits :) . Turns up in regular dictionaries too. Jay 13:07, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
