Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's relevant for
several reasons:

1.  The kernel maintains the system clock independently of the h/w
    clock.

2.  The machine is always on, and as far as I understand, the h/w clock
    is only read on startup.

3.  Isn't the h/w clock powered from the battery only when the machine
    is powered off?


Cheers,

John
