Does that timer not just read your system time? It say 103 days, 22 hours, and 1 minute for me, but that is still an hour ahead of when it really starts.

The one on Mike's page was questioned but it just looks to me like it reads your system time.

Chances are it does. Doing a timer using a standard server time would be more difficult to come up with.

Actually, I'm not laughing. It's all too true.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, time is running short, and I'm still not dressed up with nowhere to go!
