Actually, PC clocks are wretched timekeepers. Just because your machine is powered on doesn't mean it will keep time better than the battery backed clock does when powered off. I suggest you install ntpdate or its ilk. If (or when) you are connected to the internet it will check and correct your clock against an external reference. If you are never (or rarely) on the internet and your clock is really that bad then you can hook up a GPS to your serial port and take time of day from it. HTH, Andrew
