Time is relative, eigh MeDroogies? I always set my computer using Set Clock, a freeware application that dials up an atomic clock in Washington DC and sets the Mac's time automatically. Then I use that time to set my digital watch. Then I use that time to set the rest of the clocks in the house. Everything starts out synchronized to the second, but they all get off by seconds over time, so I redo the chore periodically. Imagine my surprise when, while visiting my non technical brother, I noticed that he had a digital clock that was synchronized to his VCR's digital clock to the second, and they were correct! He explained that his VCR sets itself (from time signals received in the video blanking of the local PBS station.) He knew it was accurate and set all his clocks by the VCR. The point is that since the railroad, the tracking and measuring of time has been steadily improving. Those multiple assembly lines may be in closer synchronization than you might think. But I don't believe they will screech to a grinding halt at 00:00:01, January 1, 2000. However, there will be a lot of checks sent back because of the writer's continued use of 1999 when writing it.
