:No, I'll just leave you to it, Evertype. I see you've gone ahead anyway.

:I don't really see the relevance of computer operating systems to the front-end appearance of our encyclopedia, although one or two others clearly do. Some articles are rapidly disappearing up their own nest of interlocking templates: the techies are taking over, I fear...

:As for the legal situation (another red herring, in my view), no need to call the guards out just yet. But if you think it matters that much, I already pointed out to you that Ireland adopted EuroNorm EN 28601 (incorporating international standard ISO-8601, which states ''inter alia''

:''that the first day (day number 1) of a week is Monday and that the first week in a year (week number 1) is the week that includes the first Thursday in January''

:And as I'm sure you know, 1993 Euro Law trumps 1937 Irish Law.

:Your faith in the mighty powers of the NSAI is amazing, E. They themselves only claim that:

:''NSAI facilitates the development of voluntary standard documents which manufacturers or service providers may use as an aid to meeting safety or customer requirements.

:''Voluntary'' and ''may'', you notice. "No, no," cries Evertype, "they are the masters - they shall overrule!"

:''Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, and the rest of the world's operating systems will be using those abbreviations''

:So it's Croppy Lie Down, is it? No, I'd rather be off, go raibh maith agat. There's plenty for me to be doing in the other-language Wikipedias. Good job I've got some wings...

:Bye, everybody, and thanks for all the ''fios''. -- [[Úsáideoir:Picapica|Picapica]] 21:13, 23 Lúnasa 2005 (UTC)
