Sorry. I'm more specifically asking what Roy's using, here. I can see what functions it offers, so my language was a bit sloppy. What I meant is: What can you (Roy), with your use-case, achieve with datetime that you can't achieve (at least reasonably easily) with a timestamp? Nobody ever uses every feature of a module, and I often see people using some library/module/function when they could be using a simpler and easier base function (like using JQuery for basic web page scripting).
