    Thank you.  In my previous message I referred to software which does exactly 
    that, accommodates the delays, but I'll restate:
    it is the luck of the draw; you may hit 4 or 5 times with only a ms delay, but 
    then the next might be 2 s.  If you set it to
    synchronize every minute (a waste of time ha,ha) you will get a reset 
    practically every minute due to these variances as well
    as poor time keeping with your average computer clock.  Old proverb: A man 
    with one watch knows what time it is; a man with
    two is never quite sure...

    Craig, you might want to look for a freeware app called TimeRC3 (.exe or
    .zip) which not only accomodates the propogation delays, but displays the
    delay times it finds on the main screen. Very slick and stable little app,
    and if you sync three or four times in a row and it shows only millisec
    delays each time...you can be pretty sure the clock is set better than
    you'll ever need to know. You can't "click" a button with the human hand and
    get that precision, much less read and note clock time that well.
