I find the above site quite good,that is if you are into precision.
It's an atomic clock.

116399 2003-01-26 01:37:00 And a very minor point, Grandad J, the "apostrophe" key is the one just to the left of the Enter key. I know the comma which shares the "<" key looks more like a real apostrophe, but it's at the base line. ;-) Graham L (2)

Maybe your office PC is picking up the wrong time from the server each time it boots (assuming your office PC is on a Lan). Get your IT people to check the server clock.

Thank you Andy, for that "should have been obvious" hint.

The culprit was the "workgroup" server, which sits immediately behind my shoulder, in my office. Due to endemic "restructuring" and voluntary resignations I am now the only person in my "workgroup", but I still have a server of my Very Own, which just hooks me to the nationwide LAN and holds a bit of background support documentation/apps. I usually cheerfully ignore it unless something really craps out, when I might take a look and reboot the thing).

So no need to ask any remote IT staff; the hardest part was hunting up an excess keyboard to plug into it, so I could type the requisite two digits (the rest of the time-change was mouse-operable).

Being a one-man workgroup also means having to don my hard-hat and count myself every time we have a fire-drill :-) That does make me feel like a fool.

I meant "WAN", or course (if there is any real difference these days) Before some pedant points it out :-)

116403 2003-01-30 04:36:00 Argus - glad to be of help

WAN - (ADJ) - suggestive of poor health, lacking vitality, faint.

sounds like your system needs a holiday! :-)
