Keith: Are computer clocks that bad?
In Response To: A better solution... ()

Wow: talk about an overload of information!

I haven't tried the "socketwatch" info, but I have downloaded the freeware from your two sites.

This has been very interesting.

In using the "Dimension 4" program, I've discoverd my computer is all over the board, as far as it's clock is concerned. However, I've also noticed that "Dimension 4"'s timing is right on with the time.gov web site, which apparently has it's own correcting functions or source.

I know one thing, if I had tried to check accuracy with the computer clock the way it was, I'd be insane in a week.

I'm not so worried about watch accuracy right now, as it's only a couple days old - I'm seeing +3 secs/day, as near as I can tell. I just wanted to get set up for more serious observations once it settles down.
