In this day & age, with ntp, rdate etc., there is no reason for a
computer clock to be wrong.

Funny you mention it I have been trying for three days to figure out why if I set it to utc it reports the correct time but like t hours ahead, and if I set it to local time it is two hours behind, and if I reboot it has a mind of its own.
I have physically set the time to what it is now, if I open the "adjust date and time " option off the clock the time is correct. I have checked my BIOS and there too it is correct.

In a nutshell it is just not a priority on my list right now but I will try figure it out this weekend. I must apologise for any inconvenience caused!
:-)

I thought I had sent that to Allen. However, you can set your computer clock to either UTC or local time. In addition, there's also a setting for your time zone, which many people forget about. Once you have that sorted out, you can use ntp to keep your clock accurate. Failing that, I suppose you could always buy a cesium clock and plug it into your USB port. ;-)
