I looked that up, and I see that's correct. I've actually never touched that
particular setting, so I'm assuming it's a default setting, which seems a
little strange. I'm not even sure how I would connect my computer to a
radio-controlled clock. In any event, those settings work well for me across
multiple machines. I happen to have a radio controlled clock/barometer right
next to this machine, so I'm able to see whether my computer time is correct,
since my radio clock is getting its time from the atomic clock in Colorado,
USA. They're always completely in sync.
