Okay, folks, to keep Scott the Watchmaker happy, here's a
site where you can not only get the correct time, you can
download two utilities, NISTIME and Winacts, which will dial
up an official clock and sync your computer's clock to GMT! 
(Corrected for your local time zone, of course.)

http://www.bldrdoc.gov/timefreq/javaclck.htm

My preference is for NISTTIME, because it uses your Internet
connection to sync the time.  This may result in an error of
a second or two due to network delays.  Scott will likely
prefer Winacts, which dials the atomic clock in Colorado to
give you the correct time.  It will give you to-the-second
accuracy and a long distance bill to go with it! ( Unless
you live in Colorado. of course.)

Both utilities allow you to set them to sync your system on
command or at specified intervals.


Now if timing a Roadster engine were so easy!
