This is a very useful program allowing you to keep all your computers synchronised within a second of “Atomic Time” but more importantly each other, the Internet and programme schedulers such as radio and TV. Once set up to Autorun by placing a shortcut in the Startup folder this is a set and forget utility if the Auto Sync at program start and Exit after time has been synched options are set.
Personally I rate this as:
Very Useful – Very Simple to Use
What Could Make it be Better?
- Autostart with Windows Option
- Update Server List

Everything sounds good, but why not just used the standard Windows time synchronization service?

I’m some kind of Luddite, I know, but WordPress can’t actually do everything for me. I love it a lot, but not all of my content is capable of being ‘in blog format’ and working as a site. It’s a good point, and I’d like to say “for the masses, sure”, but it isn’t going ot make *everybody* happy.

Even i had this problem before, you have to take care whenever you switch on the system you have to change the date and time, you then you can access some application in your system, it’s horrible, So better change battery for your system.Thanks

It is also useful to have reasonably accurate time stamps on the creation and modification of files.

It is also useful to have reasonably accurate time stamps on the creation and modification of files.I have had occasions where a computer has been years out due to corruption of the bios information on a power failure and then the system restarts with the bios reset to the base date or some other completely wrong time.
