I believe they all do. I had never considered the issue till now and had assumed that it was the same in the US. My Microsoft, Psion and Nokia calendars do. I don't think I have a paper calendar in the house but I probably have a few more electronic ones. I have just noticed that an American imported calendar has Sunday as day 1. I do recall a conversation at school before I reached my teenage years. One boy insisted that Sunday was day 1. The poor boy was subjected to ridicule (an early example of tyranny of the popular vote I suppose) but he had obviously got the idea from his parents, who in turn were probably not the only ones to think that way. However, I have never heard it again till now. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
