If you guys want your computer to keep up with the right time, then the
best way to do it, IMHO, is to run Net-Tamer every now and then. Net-Tamer
will automatically access a time server and set your computer's time every
time she logs on. See http://www.nettamer.net to get your free download.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
P.S. By running this program and sending this message I have just now reset
my computer's time after having just returned from vacation. It will still
be a while before I'm completely caught up with the hundreds of messages
still in my inbox.
