LOL. You and your brother are very technical. Puts you in the top .5% of the country. I myself am pretty advanced technically, but I have never considered those options for time keeping. Actually, never heard of them. I'm willing to bet a lot of people haven't. Could you give me the address for Set Clock? I could use it. I want to contribute as much as I can to the meltdown (LOL). Which reminds me...one other point about these machines...how many are really going to be running at midnight? Most people are going to be out partying somewhere.............or on a boat in Fiji to celebrate it twice.....(wish I had that kind of money).

An interesting aside to both of these synchronization points is that "Set Clock" was written by Jim Leitch, the late co-founder of the Canadian company Leitch Technology Corp. (TSE:LVI), a manufacturer of television broadcast equipment used throughout the world including the video timecode equipment used in the synchronization of video frames to real time. leitch.com 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.<snip> 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.) <snip>
