Actually, I still can't figure out why my system clock gets behind in
the first place. It's like the clock just stops ticking for whatever
length of time that the computer powers itself down (screen goes black
after a certain period of inactivity). Really a royal pain in the
buttisimo. If I move the mouse, the screen immediately comes back on,
but the time is then behind. What gives?
