You can plop the locale stuff in there as your own Chronology, to say, have a week start on Sunday instead of Monday, neh? Or maybe just do a minus-1 somewhere? It goes by the ISO deal, I guess, "natively". Which I think was part of the purpose of it... The nifty bits, as I recall from the presentation, had more to do with doing math on/with dates, and the use of static, which avoids a bunch of messy stuff you can get into with the "normal" stuff like Calendar. I don't really remember all the details offhand, but it was a good presentation, and pointed out how odd things can get when you're not using staticly typed Calendar-thingies and whatnot. Mostly because it's easy to forget how programming can work sometimes. Like that presentation those two guys give were you look at a problem, and you're like, "that looks like it would produce X!", and they're like "Gotcha! It produces Z!". =) Like I said, I just dabble, so it's more of a theoretical deal for me. You work with it a lot, so I'd go by your suggestion. It was a nifty presentation though. Thought I'd mention it. =) :Den -- Vain hopes are like certain dreams of those who wake.
