Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> my machine isn't running particularly accurate time to begin with   
      
   As far as the cybertoast was concerned I think it did okay given that it   
   arrived here fairly quick so you couldn't have been too far off.   
      
    NB> I didn't post the package to the BBS until a little after the   
    NB> actual toast and all   
      
   Understood.  That is true with offline messaging.  Near as I can tell it was   
   transferred roughly 23 minutes after it's true creation time.  :-)   
      
   I think we both did really good this time.  It definetly was enjoyable.  I am   
   sure 2018-01-01 will be even more enjoyable and, speaking for myself, just as   
   accurate barring any unforseen glitches rearing their ugly head(s) before then.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
