I seem to recall a video of an aging Navy lady, she was teaching. She ask
what is a nanosecond, then held up 1 foot of wire and said, this is a
nanosecond. So, ya, 11 ft, 11ns, thanks for the memory jog.
I found the video, Admiral Grace Hopper, fun to watch.

About 20 years ago there was a TV show on the PBS called the Computer
Chronicals. She was often on that program. She was given credit for the
terms bugs in the computer and debugging. Came from a moth in one of the
old relay type computers around the WW2 time.

She also has a navy ship named after, one of only 2 US navy ships named
after a woman.
