BTW Who, besides the US still uses this AM/PM stuff?

Canada does sometimes. I've even seen people confused enough to write 14:00 PM ..... 

Speaking of which; I would like to have an option to change that to the 24 Hour Clock in the forum.

Ken, do you read me?

HEAR!

how would you even read that karsten?

7:23 ... simply add the number, hour top, minutes bottom.
But as lmoelleb said, no 24h display, not usable.

That's a bit unfair because one does usually know whether it's 4 in the morning or in the afternoon.

I've never seen an analog watch with an 24 hour display

Here you go

Anyway, 24 hour format sucks because you still need to know 12 hour format (for the typical analog clock and casual talking). 12 hour format sucks because it adds the am/pm stupidity to a simple numbering of the hour and due the the "what is midnight, what is noon" mess. Why fight over which one sucks the least?

Down with 12 hour time format. Down with 24 hour time format. 10 hours a day, 100 minuts an hour, 100 seconds per minute, and I want it right now this second (however long that is).

You find them all over the place on US Navy bases and vessels.  I've also seen wristwatches with 24 hour dials.
