Wouldn't it be nice if JWD could display the time for each continent if not each country?
I never realized Australia had so many varied time zones!
Just askin.'

Sometimes at night I find myself replying to a poster in the UK who's already gone to bed. And that time difference that anyone has with Australia is hard to calculate. Here's one that has an interesting visual: http://timeticker.com/ (Drag your mouse over the map -- see what happens!) | ||

Leo and Gopher, thanks for replying. Head west, gain a day. Head east, lose a day. Or is it vice-versa? Sylvia | ||

Sylvia -- it's vice - versa (assuming you're crossing the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean). | ||

Ah yes, the IDL. From our trusted Wikipedia: The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth opposite the Prime Meridian which offsets the date as one travels east or west across it. Roughly along 180° longitude, with diversions to pass around some territories and island groups, it mostly corresponds to the time zone boundary separating +12 and -12 hours GMT (UT1). Crossing the IDL traveling east results in a day or 24 hours being subtracted, and crossing west results in a day being added. Knowledge is power! Sylvia | ||
