Danny, Please! I'm lucky to be able to count to twenty with my shoes on! Trying to calculate the number of seconds elapsed from 1970 to now is completely beyond me. If I got my computer to do it, I still wouldn't know if the answer was right. Leap years+leap seconds. . . . . Forget it. I'd write 34 on a post-it and paste it on my monitor but it would probably fall off by itself before I needed it again. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
