    If you measure time in nanoseconds, it will take approximately 584 years for a 64-bit counter to roll over. That's a long time between celebrations. :)

    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

        Then we should be more accurate and have picosecond resolution... and party every 7 months

                Only on a Forum ?

                In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

                      Meh. Must have been created by a VB programmer. A real programmer's day of the year would be the 255th day.
