Well, Steve gave the correct answer, but I don't know if he was answering
the right question :-)

Many people think that you can only change the Mac's clock from the Alarm
Clock DA (I believe that this was Jay's assumption -- he knew that there
is only one clock in his Mac).  This isn't correct: open the Control Panel,
then choose the General cdev (if for some reason it isn't already selected.
Just off the center, you will see the clock.  Click on the hours to change
them (same procedure for the rest of the fields).

This is how to get SuperClock to display the right time (without having to
re-install the Alarm Clock DA).

Or you could always move to an area that doesn't change times (like here)...
