I really hate Windows.

Originally Posted By cmpaley I think it does update automatically. I'm sure there's a setting you can go to and check. Yeah, the clock that came with Windows 98 really got slogged after a while as the system started getting bogged down.

Originally Posted By friendofdd I haven't called time for many years. Sometimes, listening to shortwave radio at night, I would find a time signal and coordinate to that. But for several years now, my cable box has the exact time. And for a couple of years I've had a small weather station in the house. It picks up atomic clock signals from a satellite. Both it and the cable box change minutes at exactly the same time.

Originally Posted By friendofdd I'm assuming the cable box is correct since it is the same as the satellite clock. I pay no attention to when the shows start. Guess I'll have to watch (is that a pun?) for that.

Dave, I love that first clock. It's cool how it shows all aspects of time on one screen.

So I changed my computer's clock, and the first clock you posted changed time right in front of my eyes. So I found this one: <a href="http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/java" target="_blank">http://www.time.gov/timezone.c gi?Pacific/d/-8/java</a>
