Ohhh! Now I get it.
Since I got my first computer, around 1986 (an Apple IIc) and needed to
keep large numbers of files sorted chronologically, I have been using
YYYYMMDD and I wish everyone would just get over it and switch over in
North America, were we don't even seem to have a consensus on whether
it's MMDDYYYY or DDMMYYYY. For the computer age, YYYYMMDD is most
logical. The government should take the lead and declare a "standard".
I look forward to 20060504030201 in about a month.
