1/Paul: I use Synchronize! from Qdea, which I prefer over the Mac-solution, though they are similar. Matter of habit perhaps? Worth checking it out imho, allows looking for multiple-hour differences (such as when I forgot to set the timne after PRAMing) and some other goodies. Which brings me to 2/Glenn: I loose the serial number from Synchronize when I pram. Sounds similarly weird, doesn't it?
