I apologize for taking offence where there was none. I suppose that I am now utterly confused as to in what way you disagree with me. In the Christian week, if we are to call it that, Sunday is the first day of the week, and traditional Christianity recognizes that the Sabbath, which is Saturday, is the seventh day, on which God rested. Which part of that do you feel that I have wrong? > But my point was simply that cultural and > religious traditions that may not make "sense" to the programmer are often > very important. Similar to what you stated above. OK, true. Since our job is to provide an interface that regular people can understand, and not have to add and subtract to make sense of it. Like adding 1900 to years. :-) -- Rich Bowen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kenya.rcbowen.com/
