Marta:
Don't worry too much about seeing 8am and 8pm on your computer
display. In reality, this is not the real celestial time anyhow.
Aviators use Zulu time, (same as Greenwich time) which is perhaps the
best way to go.
For all you people in Louisville, perhaps you should know that your
court house is at longitude 85 degrees and 45.58 minutes west, so
celestial noon will not occur until 12:43 in the afternoon when we
are on standard time. When on daylight savings time, celestial noon
comes at 1:43, meaning that then we are nearly two hours off off
nature's cycle. Most people in the world are smarter, and try to
regulate their time so that they live within a half hour of natural
or celestrial time.
Incidentally, I can understand wanting to get rid of pounds and
ounces, but if you got rid of your feet, how would you all walk around?

In all my computers except in my MBp can I display the time in my
calendar in the 24 hour mode. I have not succeeded in doing this in
this leopard loaded computer.I am sure there is a way, but where is it?
The am pm display just seems so old fashioned, I would like to get
rid of it as i would of pound and ounces and miles and yards and
feet. And every time I look at my calendar in the week display mode,
it bothers me to read noon and 8am etc and then again 8 pm .
