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.  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
