>>Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea...<< Douglas Adams

Truthfully, I believe a wrist chronometer with actual sweep-hands is a far better solution... I won't make you later or early, it just helps you feel les guilty about when you arrive...

AFD ;)
