<< That should be interesting when paying for something. "How will you be 
paying? Cash, Visa or minutes?"   :-)

Paying for your groceries: "That will be 1 hour, 32 minutes and 12 seconds, 
please."   :-) >>


Sounds like the beginning of a barter system. In exchange for my repairing 
your car (which took me, say, 4 hours and fifty-five minutes), I get the 
exact amount of your time doing something for me that I could not otherwise 
do myself. Or else, you just pitch your minutes into a big bin and withdraw 
the equivalent number of someone else's minutes.

Feasible?
