Ed, thanks so much. I have no idea why I could do it all , except the
iCal wasn't cooperating. I have done the switches with every computer
I had, but this one little item, -- I don't know how many times I
turned on the international panel , and everything else I could
perform easily.

Neal, now you bring up a whole new dimension into this discourse.
Where actually do you reside? In a different time zone altogether, or
do you live by Zulu time?
They also have given up the word "Greenwich Mean Time."
It had a familiar ring to it. As a child in the fourth grade, we

We are going round and round. Why then are there 60 minutes in an hour
and not 100 ? All those ancient Babylonians and the like did not know
what they were doing!! They should have chosen metric!
