The code actually has a typographical error: On lines 30 through 32, it says now.getFormatedDate, however, the actual prototype name is "now.getFormatedString". So either lines 30-32 should be changed to now.getFormatedString OR line 7 needs to be changed to getFormatedDate. Works fine other than that. It would be nice to see it mention the actual day and month (e.g. Thursday, January 17, 2007)
