Maybe the "down under" has something to do with it? ;-) >From one episode of the Simpsons, when Lisa is helping Bart study for a geography test, he looks at a globe and says "hey, I didn't know there's an island called Rand McNally in the Pacific Ocean". Lisa tells him that "in Rand McNally, everyone walks on their noses, and hamburgers eat people". To which Bart replies "Cool!". <rant on> I also don't like the way dates are written in other parts of the world. I frequently see dates written as YY/MM/DD (Canadian) and as DD/MM/YY (British). Why can't we all agree on MM/DD/YY as THE one true correct standard? When you use dates in a spoken sentence, you say "July 23, 2002". So why not write it that way numerically? <rant off> Now, if we could just get everybody to drop that metric and 220V 50Hz crap... ;-) Best regards, Ivan Baggett Bagotronix Inc. website: www.bagotronix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "JaMi Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "JaMi Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 4:36 AM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Speaking of Protel Bugs. ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: FEA6A5084AAA1B4FBBCEA608A0CD8D2459FF9143 * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
