- Just to clarify a bit. When I use my code to set the system clock,
- the system time afterwards is within ~ 0.75 seconds of the real time.
- This is a worst case. If the machine isn't heavily loaded at the time
- the code runs, the system clock is set so close to the real time that I cannot
- tell the difference (by eye).
