Hello Oren,
Could you clarify what you mean by "internet time" ? Are you referring to
the length of time a given computer is connected to the internet? Are you
trying to calculate the time in a .NET application? If so please provide
context.
"We" (who read here) have a better chance of helping if we know a bit more.

What is internet time? Internet time is a new, universal time standard where
a day (24 hour period) is divided up into 1000 ".beat" units. One .beat is
equal to 1 minute 26.4 seconds. Internet time is the SAME throughout the
world! Now all your friends and family around the world can synchronize ICQ
chats, conference calls and other events according to one time zone!

Um, OK. "SAME throughout the world" Sounds "revolutionary".
I have to wonder if they've ever heard of GMT :-0
