I downloaded the latest Pharo 1.3 and Cog vm to my Vista server.
I opened up a workspace and did the following at as precisely as my hand
eye coordination allow at the top of the minute shown.
The first time at the bottom shows exactly identical time with the OS clock.
The second time above it, show a 5 second gain in time in a little over
24 hours.
I am going to let this image keep going and see how it continues.
DateAndTime now.
2011-05-01T23:45:05-05:00 lost 5 seconds since the below
2011-04-30T20:16:00-05:00 opened Pharo and checked time.
For me, this is now verified on 2 Windows Vista computers. One a laptop,
and the other a Desktop machine I use as a server. Both are reasonably
current Dells. The laptop with a duo-core processor and the desktop a
quad-core processor.
I have not done any attempts on any other OS.
Thanks.

I have noticed that Pharo's system time drifts away from the OS system
time. I would really like the Pharo system time to be the correct time.
I have not been able to find where in Pharo I can call to update the
System clock to the correct time.
Any help greatly appreciated.
