Hi Tony,

 HG> Here too it's very difficult to ask normal people to use the 24h
 HG> system.

TL> Yet it makes things easier, no ambiguity with AM or PM. :)

Sure does. In swedish or finnish we don't even have the shorthands AM
and PM but have to use 'p† morgonen and 'p† kv„llen' to tell when that
8'oclock is.

 HG> Even youngsters. When one of my grandchildren was confirmed (church),
 HG> I gave her a digital wrist watch as a confirmation gift.

TL> Hmm, OK. so that idea didn't take. :)

Nope!

TL> Yeah I tried it, sure, it's exciting, but not something I could do
TL> constantly, and then there's the paperwork - me and the postal
TL> system don't get along. :)

I happened to get my license at the time of at the rising sunspot cycle
in 1951 and when I moved to the Aland Islands 1957 it, #19, reached its
record maximum.


CU L8ER,

Holger
