I don't believe they teach anything relative to time in school any longer... For that matter, I don't believe they teach much of anything worthwhile now-a-days. I grew up with the 24 hour clock in my family and still keep time like that - even on my wristwatch. Amazing ignorance. Best regards, Marc --- timEd/2 1.10.y2k+ * Origin: Sursum Corda!
