I think 12pm is correct, but 12am probably isn't (12am should _subtract_ 12, while 12pm does _not_ add 12). That said, I have a rice cooker that avoids the problem by saying "0:10 PM" for ten minutes past midday ;) Of course, all sane and civilized countries just use 24-hour format anyway. "Military time" my *ss. Some day the US will turn metric and 24-hour-format. If the sun doesn't turn into a red giant first, that is. Linus
