Re: Date convention

Hi,

This might seem like pure trivia, but I asure you it is not. The EU has - for good reasons - decided to use the YY-MM-DD format. If you tabulate data (word or exel spread-sheet) and part of it is the date, you might want to sort cronologically. Unless the above format is used you'll get complete rubbish, like 05 SEP 1944 after 04 FEB 2005. So lets stick to the computer logic format.
