Here is some more cool stuff with dates. C:\>watir-console >> 10.days.ago => Fri Oct 10 21:50:46 +0100 2008 >> 1.month.from_now => Thu Nov 20 21:51:00 +0000 2008 >> 2.weeks.since Time.local(2008,1,1) => Tue Jan 15 00:00:00 +0000 2008 >> Time.now - 1.day => Sun Oct 19 21:52:10 +0100 2008 >> Time.now + 6.years => Mon Oct 20 21:52:22 +0100 2014
