Use the 24-hour clock to prevent mis-understanding, as Europe and the US Military: 1200 is Noon, 0000 or 2400 is midnight. Thanks - I agree but that doesn't solve the computer time clock problem. The slot to the right of 12:00 on my system always has either AM or PM. Most of North America uses a 12 hour clock so the problem is not solved by switching to a 24 hour clock. Greenwich doesn't have an answer - "12:00 AM and 12:00 PM have no meaning." http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm
