118134 2003-02-04 02:58:00 I am seeing messages posted with a time error of about 2 minutes or so, eg. one posted at 3.48pm when the actual time was 3.46pm. I know Im nit-picking but....
Having just synchronised my RTC with CSIRO atomic clock in Aussie, Im going to click 'Post Message' at exactly 3.54pm NZDST, +/- 50 milliseconds...here goes

118135 2003-02-04 03:07:00 It took 4 minutes if PF1 is correct, now if the speed of light in ancient units is 186,000 miles per hour, then the distance between Upper Hutt and Auckland must be about 40 million miles :) Terry Porritt (14)
118136 2003-02-04 03:09:00 You trust an Australian clock? Graham L (2)

118140 2003-02-04 10:35:00 OK... Posting from Tokoroa... Should take less time than from Upper Hutt. Will hit the post button at 11:35 pm.

The Atomic clock will keep working from the Fallout from a war I would think. :-)

Don't forget that this post will have to trip over the network cable.

118142 2003-02-04 10:44:00 Well I have tried twice and both were accurate. Don't blame PressF1.

Must be the fallout, hot air and interference from the Beehive down your way.

Time now 11:44 pm

This going by the clock in the lower right of my screen.
