SetClock calls either a standard in Toronto or Norfolk, VA.  The call
never lasts more than a minute (it's completely automated), so the cost is
quite minimal, probably less than 25 cents (evening rate) from anywhere
in the US.  Depending on whether your call goes by way of satellite, the
Mac clock will be set to within a few seconds of "standard" time.
