not for me here, neither. I'm in MET (GMT+1), but I also have a time lag when having booted to OS X. I do not remember precisely how much the lag was; IIRC it was about 9 hours back (ie. when 9.00 am MET, the laptop would show shortly after midnight). I wondered if apple was so egocentric as to set laptop-internal time to apple-headquarter-time :) I have worked around that issue by installing ntp-simple; but obviously that's not a real solution. There have been talks here recently that apple has introduced another clock residing on the I2C bus rather than on the PMU (?); maybe the issue is related to that? bye Philipp Kaeser / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
