Alright then, any ideas what to use. I mean, I agree syncing to multiple
servers seems a bit drastic (nice to know I won't be late for work, but
still...). Shoot even syncing to one! I saw the perl script, and I'll
give that a go, but there's gotta be a better way. I mean for the system
to be off twenty minutes after running a day is inexcusable for most
systems.

If anyone has any other ideas. let me know

In 1968 it took the computing power of 2 C-64's to fly a rocket to the
moon. Now, in 1998 it takes the Power of a Pentium 200 to run Microsoft
Windows 95. Something must have gone wrong.
