It’s @713

This probably should have been handled as a continuation of this thread, but, oh well. Does anyone here remeber Swatch’s Internet Time. It came to be around 1996 if I recall correctly. I’ve always thought something like this would be a great idea, but we could all do it with GMT. If everyone always worked on GMT, things would be a lot easier. Of course, this would be easy for geeks to get a grasp on, but imagine trying to tell ‘normal people’ that Friends comes on at 0100 and that they get up for work at 1130. Oh well. Just another point where tradition takes the lead over techonological innovation. Like Imperal and Standard measurement over Metric.
