[erlang-questions] Current time in milliseconds

[Mazen Harake]

All three fields represent 1 single time down to Microsecs precision, 
this means that Microsecs shows how many microseconds in the current 
second and how many seconds into megaseconds...

megasecond is just a way to say 1,000,000 seconds.
