Hi, What's the point of it?
According to http://www.luvit.se/stefanp/lec_35_manual/swatch.html , "As a result Internet Time is the same all over the world." Well, gee, since Internet Time is equivalent to BMT, what's the big deal about "same all over the world" and "the era of time zones has disappeared"? The same would be true about GMT, American EST, or any other time zone that people standardize on. In fact, long ago, the US military standardized on GMT as "Zulu time", as opposed to "Lima", a.k.a. local time. They'd have had a fighting chance if they'd have stuck with GMT. In fact, I think that a metric system based on GMT is a good idea, since 1/100th of a "beat" is 0.864 seconds, which gives just as good a granularity as the second. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jefferson, LA USA "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
