   If you count the decimal places it is 10^-9 which is nanoseconds.  However in   
   terms of accuracy it is impossible for anything I have to get better than 10's   
   of nanoseconds under ideal conditions and I seriously doubt that given   
   dedicated gigabit networks to sync with ntp.  In that case I'd be surprised if   
   it better than 10's of microseconds.  Given the internet and ntp servers out   
   there in the cold, cruel world I'd be comfotable saying millisecond accuracy.    
   No doubt in my mind that everything here agrees with up to the second accuracy   
   which is overkill for fidonet messaging.  The reason for the nanosecond   
   display is for uniqueness of messages for a potential MSGID upgrade when the   
   time comes ... if indeed it comes.  I am a good boy scout - be prepared is the   
   motto they live by or so I am led to believe.

   I use a text browser with no mouse for that.  The 'd' key provides that   
   functionality.

   Definetly good enough for any usage I might have for such a thing.  I've run   
   across a few so-called webcams (usb 3.0) that claim 120fps although those are   
   way too expensive to even consider using as a webcam or the such.  However the   
   ability to do up to 60fps might be something of interest if it doesn't break   
   the bank.   
      
    AA> If the window was cleaner   
      
   I noticed that.  No matter as I took that into account.  At first I thought   
   your lens needed cleaning until you panned following the deer and the obvious   
   dirty spot never moved with the camera.  Time to think about spring cleaning.
