My watch - which I time to a national signal on radio, says 5 to 7.

My computer tells me it is about 10 to 7.

And my cell says 6:56.

So I guess it is about 5 to 7...is my computer slow?

What source do you use for the "correct time"?

My computer and my cable box and my iPod all get the time from external sources. My iPod's two minutes ahead of the other two sources, but I don't mind that.

Since we changed the clocks, it takes me 7 minutes to walk across my kitchen, from the microwave to the oven. :eek: But then I go back in time when I return. :p

I'll get around to fixing them eventually. :rolleyes:

Does any body really know what time it is? Does any body really care...
About time, if so I can't imagine why......
We all have time enough to die.

Oh Freedom!!.. lol... back to the future.. haha

I also have different times on my comp and my two phones.. one a lil ahead and one on the "correct" time

I base my clocks on school clock.. lol.. that way thereŽs no excuse for being late.. and before the kid it was with work clock.. or my own school clock..

we do have a phone number you can dial to get the time.. but IŽve always went with the clocks of places IŽd need to be on time ;)

We have an atomic clock which is supposed to be correct. I usually rely on my Grandfather's clock. It is over 100 years old, and I figure by this time it would have gotten it right at least twice a day :)

LOL...it depends on how late I am for work. If I am on time I use the clock in the back of the office. If I am late, I use the clock in the front of the office. :D

I have 2 atomic clocks, and they always agree with the time on the computer and all of the cable boxes. Any clocks or watches that have to be manually set, I just go by any of these.

Even if I came up with a minute difference, I'd hardly worry about it. :p

I use the time on my cell phone. I calibrate it frequently on the atomic clock because accurate time is required for GPS to work properly!

My watch is set to the time clock at work. My clocks at home are set to the time on the TV Guide channel. The clock in my car is 2 minutes fast on purpose.

I have 2 atomic clocks, and today I noticed one was 10 min. ahead of the other. I took the battery out of the one that was wrong. Te battery in it turned out to be a battery that was put in in 2002! So it's done quite a good job. :) Btw, it's 21.11 here now.
