No but some English speaking Canadian might prefer Vancouver or
whatever and thats in the west ... Ottawa in the east.
Select the legal Country capitals if possible I would say.. saves headaches..
And political complaints. Which is why MS ended up having to remove
their movable banner across timezones as neither Pakistan or India
liked the border...
Anyway, after I read my 50 emails being 12 hours out of step with most

read msgs in reverse order...
By the way, I didnt see a Wallon keyboard on that KB-list which was
posted .... Isnt that required to type Walon? (g)
And more seriously, I thought Bern was the capital of Switserland and
not Zurich where they speak Swiss German and not Italian....
Even if acc to Swiss friends of mine there are now more foreigners
there then Swiss... am I missing something??
