[slm] Internet Time is a "new" way to tell time, invented and marketed by the Swiss watch company Swatch. The current Internet Time is the same all over the World (no time zones or daylight saving time adjustments). The current. Instead of dividing the virtual and real day into 24 hours and 60 minutes per hour, the Internet Time system divides the day into 1000 ".beats". Each .beat is 1 minute and 26.4 seconds. [size=4]Time unit conversions[/size] Beat Unit Conversion        Unit Beat Conversion 1 .beat = 0.001 day                 1 day = 1000 .beats 1 .beat = 0.024 hours          1 hour = 41.666 .beats 1 .beat = 1.44 minutes         1 minute = 0.6944 .beats 1 .beat = 86.4 seconds        1 second = 0.01157 .beats ---------------------------------------------------------------------- for more info visit:[url]http://www.timeanddate.com/time/internettime.html[/url] [wlm]
