LOCAL & GMT:


The script* reads the system time settings of your computer, so it should work correctly regardless of your time zone. Of course, if your computer system time is incorrect, the times displayed below will also be incorrect.

We use WebTime, available as freeware at: http://www.gregorybraun.com/WebTime.html.

GMT is sometimes confused with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For most purposes, the two times are the same. Technically, there is a difference. UTC is based on atomic clocks, which are very constant. GMT is based on the Earth's rotation, which is not constant. To keep GMT and UTC in synch, leap seconds are sometimes added to a year.
