Interesting way of thinking about it. It was 50/50 until the rules were changed in 1987. In Europe the discrepancy is even greater than in the USA, by a week; seven months for summer time, only five (including short February) for standard time. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
