KM vs. Miles

Ummmm ... kilometers, of course. It would be really weird to set my computer up for miles, when all the road markers in both Canada and Australia are in kilometers. And it would feel really weird to think in miles anyway seeing as I've been thinking in kilometers for so many years now.
