    Yeah, I am getting +6 minutes myself. My computer's clock is the only one that stays going when the power goes off, so I base all my other clocks in my apartment on this one here.

        I don't know about other versions, but XP updates the system clock every time it goes online - so when I get back to my room, I'll be able to check what is presumably a reasonably reputable time-check.

            I make it 14:16, poly makes it 14:24. An 8 minute difference.

            Btw - what actually is the point in this thread?

                who cares what time it is
                I never put my watch on anyway, I just look at the sun, if its in the East its morning , if its in the west its afternoon.

                  The clock on my work pc is 7 minutes behind Apolyton. But it is 4 minutes ahead of the clock on my phone, and 9 minutes behind the clock on the tower of city hall.

                  I agree with Hydey. If the shadows are getting long, it's time to go home! If the eastern sky is pink, my son will soon be demanding breakfast. It's good enough to approximate!

                  Dissident, it seems like you are fishing for someone to start singing that dumb song "Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?"
