Uhhhhh. ... What am I missing here. ... I get it! ... He's putting me on.

Do I need to say that it is a good idea to keep your machine's clocks sync'd all the time. One good reason is so that your CVS (you do use CVS, or something like it, don't you) check-in timestamps are consistent with everyone elses. Your log timestamps can be corelated with events on other machines, ... yadda.

You do know that the NTP protocol is made just for this. ... Right! ... That on Windows a very good program to sync your clocks is called D4Time; it's free. That on most UNIX flavors, an open source program called xntpd works wonders too.
