I've been using SetClock now for several months now.
One thing that bothers me is that my Mac's (both the one at
work and the one at home) don't keep very good time. They gain
several seconds a day. My digital watch is a LOT better than
my computer at keeping time.

Anybody know why? Is there a fix?
