      I had to get out a calculator for this. Let's see, 2010 - 1978 = 32 years. When's my retirement party? Hope I get an invite. :)

          I just realized, I've been working for 6 years now. Started on 01-09-2004*. Switched jobs only once - and what timing that was! 3 months after I left, they sold themselves to Big Bad Financial Institution That Shall Remain Nameless, which fired more than half the employees. Working has been many things to me, but it's been very challenging, and I like it a thousand times better than college. How long have you been working? * Note to Americans: over here, we write dates correctly. ;P

          Added smiley - there's something wrong when a tongue-in-cheek comment garners the most responses. And yes, yyyy-MM-dd is way better than any of the other two formats.

            Really? I have no idea if you mean January 9, 2004 or September 1, 2004. And nobody else around the world will know what system you're using either unless you specifically tell them. My mission is to get people to use the ISO 8601 date/time standards[^]. It would make life a lot easier. Cheers, Drew.

              TV stations should stop broadcasting Miss USA pageants outside this country. That way the pea-brained idiots who think Australia is in Europe or that The I-Rack is a vacation destination won't be used to stereotype the average American. :-D

                            Absolutely, beats the pants off the other two formats. But of dd-MM-yyyy and MM-dd-yyyy, the former is better any day.

                                Not when 99% of users habitually give dates in the latter format without thinking. :rolleyes:
