I do autosyncronise my computers clock with NTP. Where it all goes pear shaped is that I send mail from Linux running on VMWare running on top of Windows. Everytime windows hibernates, VMWare's clock gets screwed up.
I have a menu item that connects to NTP and syncronise's Linux's clock, but that requires me to remember to run it, and it doesn't always work - even when I am online...
