WARNING! TIME WARPS AHEAD!

Well the chimes sure tinkled for us!  On Thursday 8 Jan (1987 A.D.) at
about 1400 PST we queried DCN1 as we booted our PWB UNIX system and
received a 1986 date stamp!  (Gee Mr.  Peabody, set the Wayback machine
for 1987!)

Further investigation shows that DCN6 and GW.UMICH.EDU are also stuck
in a time warp.  UMD1 seems to be the only un-nostalgic clock.
(FORD1 was not reachable.)

For now, everyone better keep one eye on the Timex, and another on the
packets, and another on the Seiko!

p.s.  What (Where?) is the previously mentioned NCAR clock/site?  I
can't find a net address for this place in the NIC host table.
