    Safari on Mac OS X, works right out of the box. And I will check, but I think Netscape 7.2 on Mac OS X does as well.

    And that stands for?

    what time works for everyone ?
    If You by everyone mean us in Europe then between 1500 and 1600 my local time

    Please don't start to mix with the time as it will only confuse us.
    Kind regards,

    Since it seems to be a general issue with time all over the world (at least for me!) how about using Internet Time instead?
