Hi.

My job (professionally speaking), has a lot to do with measuring time and
time standards. Maybe, it doesn't make much sense to the marketing area, but
UTC is a global standard, used for all national time institutes around the
world. It can confuse some people, indeed, but it will be more end more
used, in the future.

Cheers.

Ok,
UTC (short for Co-ordinated Universal Time, or rather "Universal Time,
Co-ordinated") does make more sense to me now than GMT.  As Simon Phipps
pointed
out GMT does confuse people sometimes.  Unix time is almost in sync with
UTC but
UTC does seem to be used much more widely even if 'normal' users are
unlikely to
have heard of it.  UTC is easy to look-up too :)
Regards from
Tom :)
