If you wan't to test it, you should write an app that checks for difference
in ticks (or microseconds) and gives an alert when it's negative. Then you
need to let it run for a long time. I don't really care tough... Maybe your
app will stop functioning normaly sometimes, but it'll probably never
happen.

Hi list,

According to the LR for both the ticks and microseconds function
there is a little snag:

Because modern operating systems can stay running for so long, it's
possible for the machine's internal counters to "roll over." This
means that if you are using this function to determine how much time
has elapsed between two events, you may encounter a case where it
appears that the stop time is prior to the start time.

But I can't find when that is. Does anyone know?

Cheers,
