another piece of advice, don't hardwire if you don't have to. the minute you hardwire the function/app for european locales is the minute that the client tells you his cousin has opened a shop in montreal & you need to support en_CA, fr_CA locales too. > My experience here in Europe is that many businesses use the week system in > communications to arrange meetings.
