   Hi Tony,   
      
    HG> Here too it's very difficult to ask normal people to use the 24h   
    HG> system.   
      
   TL> Yet it makes things easier, no ambiguity with AM or PM. :)   
      
   Sure does. In swedish or finnish we don't even have the shorthands AM   
   and PM but have to use 'p† morgonen and 'p† kv„llen' to tell when that   
   8'oclock is.   
      
    HG> Even youngsters. When one of my grandchildren was confirmed (church),   
    HG> I gave her a digital wrist watch as a confirmation gift.   
      
   TL> Hmm, OK. so that idea didn't take. :)   
      
   Nope!   
      
   TL> Yeah I tried it, sure, it's exciting, but not something I could do   
   TL> constantly, and then there's the paperwork - me and the postal   
   TL> system don't get along. :)
