On the other hand, in a day of Network Time Protocol (NTP) there is
absolutely no excuse for a machine to have a date/time off by more than a
few milliseconds.

UNIX users probably already have an ntpd available on their system, if not
it's an easy download.

On my windows boxes I use "Dimension 4" http://www.thinkman.com/~thinkman
for a free sntp agent.
