Talk to Microsoft.  *I* didn't invent the date standard for SQL and our
apps use a medium date format for display because there is no confusion
about reading it, whatever the language.

	And we could cut traffic on this list by 10% or more if
everybody would adopt the international date format of yyyymmdd instead
of trying to use the obsolete date formats of mmddyy and ddmmyy. <grin>

	You should have a surcharge, not a discount!  It's all your
fault that US developers have to deal with internationalization issues
in their application! <VBG>

Shouldn't we non US developers get a discount? (grin)
