Is there a way to get the computer user's date and time?

You can use this function:

realtime([num timecode]);

Where "timecode" is one of the following:

0 = the number of seconds and milliseconds since midnight, Jan 1, 1970
1 = the number of seconds since midnight, Jan 1, 1970
2 = the number of milliseconds since the last second change
10 = a time string with format hh:mm:ss
11 = a date string with format mm/dd/yy
12 = a date/time string with format Mon Nov 15 15:49:12 2004

Let me know if you have questions.
