Hey Folks, 

You might not be aware of it, but individual users are not
supposed to be using "Stratum One" time servers.  The reason
is that these time servers are supposed to service 
"Stratum Two" time servers that synchronize large networks
of time servers.  If you are not synchronizing dozens of
computers, you should stick with Stratum Two or 'further
removed' servers.  For individuals, the safest thing
to do is put in 'pool.ntp.org' where it asks for a time
server.
