   I recently read a good, techy reason to reset the system date format to   
   yyyy-mm-dd. Something to do with the fact that it sorts correctly when you   
   automatically stringify it.   
      
   Then again, the techie could have been one of those dreadful people who   
   insist that you do everything the "correct" way, which happens, in all   
   cases, to be *his* way. The sort of jerk who insists on giving temperatures   
   in centigrade -- and gets offended if you don't call it "Celsius".   
      
   This format messes up Quicken as well. I believe Paradox has a setting that   
   allows you to change its default format.
