Keeping months in sync with phases of the moon apparently turned out to be insufficiently important to civilization to require it as a feature of the calendar. I'm doubtful that keeping clocks in approximate sync with the rising and setting of the sun is likely to be judged equally unimportant, however. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/
