Good ....But are these Enough?...I Dont think So.

Yasir_Nasim Wednesday, September 20, 2006 08:17 PM

Salaam

Nice work. But dont u think that it would have been more informative if u could write the denotations also, like for Ampere, we have a denotation of "A".
Anyways,its really a cool effort for something good. keep it up !

Take care
