That's kind of what I would expect. :-) Now is actually a (static) member of the DateTime class - but in .NET you can do this kind of import. DateTime instances are immutable - so accessing 'Now' returns the current one (which doesn't then change). When you import again you look-up the new current time. Just import DateTime and access 'Now' whenever you need it...
