[HECnet] Strange unit of time

[Ian McLaughlin]

Excuse the noise, but I’ve got a fragmented recollection of a strange unit of time, and my faulty memory seems to equate this with VAX and/or VMS. My google-fu has failed me (or confirmed that this is some sort of fake memory) however I thought I’d run it past the experts in here.

Does anyone know of anything strange about the unit of time, or possibly the epoch, or something else associated with time measurement (or the TOY clock or basically anything to do with time) in the DEC world? Sorry for the vagueness of the question, but hopefully someone can help :)
