I just got an idea and wanted to check what the time on the server is compared with local time here. I traced and found that this (the forum) server is located in Santa Clara on the West Coast.(?)

Local time here just now is November 16, 2001 20:10. Am I right when I say that Americans are living in the past? ;-)

Indeed, but only if you accept the arbitrary fact than the Greenwich meridian is *the* starting point.

During testing we played around to see how close a color match for the background you needed. We were surprised how far apart the colors could be without it being noticeable. An approximately color worked fine.
As for time zones: Xara's headquarters is located very slightly west of the Greenwich meridian. That being so, what other starting point for time could there possibly be?
