Mine too. I have AutoHotkey shortcuts which insert
20090206 or 200902060934 when I need them, which is
whenever I create a note, or rename files.
I don't use the '-' either, yyyymmdd is still
readable and saves space.

Yup, it's like doing arithmetic with Roman numerals! I'm sure
Romans were happy and proud with their system and resisted
change, just like we do today in all domains.

Count me in!

I have some ideas about eliminating hours and minutes as well, but
this is about 2 centuries away :-)
