No one is saying to do away with metric. The question is: if you had to design an alternative naming scheme, what would it be? Keep retarded Americans in mind, who would rather have cool slang for their money than a system that makes sense. I am not saying the names I suggested earlier are good; I was just throwing them out there.

If maxConnections is set in bitcoind, this error shows in the logs after you enter your password to complete sending bitcoins. The GUI doesn't show any error; it just leaves the send window open (password dialog closes itself). Obviously, the bitcoins never send (nothing pending).

Another wierd thing is also happening. While the databases are still being created or transactions are being scanned, the message "You just clicked a bitcoin: link..." pops up when you open armory from the systray. I've never actually clicked on a bitcoin: link, but the program thinks I did. It says to try again when Armory is online. This has never happened when armory is actually online.

Also, not sure if this is the place, but could you consider adding a command-line switch to start armory in the systray (if the systray option is already enabled as well).

Bollars (1), bents (0.01), bundies (0.0001), biddies (0.000001), satoshis (0.00000001)
Skip a decimal place because it is easy to keep track of 100 of something (100 bents = 1 bollar).
