Yeah, but isn't the third part milliseconds? Doesn't "milli" imply 1000
and not 60. I may be totally off here though - well, it's getting late
Nope - hh:mm:ss.milli
And it's early in London, so it *must* be late in Western U.S.A. - see

You're right of course. Seconds! Who would have thought about that :-)
It's past 1am, so I guess I should go hit the mattress ...
PS: and I heard it's darn cold over there too ....
Winter has finally arrived in the U.K. - I hear it was -6C in Wales
