What’s This All About?

Neutron is a tiny portable utility to synchronize your computer with “Atomic Clocks” through various Internet servers.

Why Would You Want It?

While you probably don’t need the time on your computer to be accurate to the second you will often want it to be correct to the minute. Things like scheduled reminders or recordings of programmes are obvious examples. 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. If this goes unnoticed you can have hundreds of files with the wrong dates and (perhaps) even worse restore points that are incorrect. Trying to sort duplicates where files have incorrect dates or synchronising files across your local area network can be made far more difficult if different machines don’t have the same time.

So a simple, tiny utility that will make sure you don’t have this problem is well worth while.
