Are Macs — metric, imperial (UK), or US customary?

At least one inquiring mind wants to know. PCBs are undoubtedly .100" centers. I'll assume that's US customary . . .

. . . but how that differs from British Imperial, only Wikipedia knows. :-/

If the standard Mac unit switched from one system to another, when might that have taken place?

Gotta love the Brits, on the 25th Anniversary of the (shudder) French metric system, England codified the silliness we're still using here in the US . . . sort of. :lol:

This is appropriate for Hacks & Development because it bears directly upon a rumored 30thAM™ development project. ;)
