Cynthia, et all, I live in Germany and know due to experience that the webinars are at about 20:00 (8:00 PM) local summer time.
A suggestion on my side is that the times for the webinars are set as UTC or old GMT. That way one only needs to remember the offset for ones time zone. The difference depends on which side of the UK (0 meridian) you live. That's history and not from me. Going to the east you add one hour. Going to the west you subtract one. The limit is the date line. The offset in hours is for eg. Australia between +8 and +10 Germany +1 (in the summertime +2) South Afrika +2 UK 0 USA between -4 and -10 BTW. I prefer the 24 hour system as eg. today the webinar is at 18:00 UTC (6:00 PM). That means for the East Coast. Eg. 18:00 UTC minus 4 hours thus 14:00 local time or 2:00PM local time. If someone forgets the PM this could also be 6:00 in the morning. Many use 24 hour system. Not only your military but also the aviation, shipping and many more. Just think about this. Bernhard BTW. I grew up with the 12 hour system but after a very short time I found it great. The first time I heard about the 24 hour system was as child of with '14 hundred' in a film from the States. At that time my father said there is no time like '14 hundred'. In the meantime I know that '14 hundred' means 14:00 or 2:00 PM. -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2012 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Webinars Hello Everyone, I know there is a webinar today and would like to register. However, I live in Arizona and we do not change our time ever. I know that Michigan is 3 hours ahead of us but, I don't know what time it will be here when the webinar starts. Can anyone tell me this?
