Isn't this part of the basic Treo function? > Admittedly, I have mine turned off (it seems to save battery) I have "network time" turned off in the cellular radio because at&t time isn't accurate enough for meeting alarms. Normally, I sync the time via TimeCopy to my PC which syncs via NTP to a time server. But as I said, and you quoted, "for when I have to yank the battery...when I cannot hotsync". The 680's clock resets to some random time when the battery is pulled. It could wind up being off by only a minute or two, or several days. On a hard reset, it could be off by several YEARS. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol Tips for the Innocent Bystander: 25.
