This weekend I used a different computer than I usually do -- an IBM Aptiva
Pentium 350 booted into Windows 98 DOS. I left it running for the entire
contest and when I took time off, it went into power save mode. This
apparently created a problem with the TR clock. It seems that when the
machine would wake up, TR's clock would pick up right where it left off --
not at the correct time.
I'll remember to disable power saving in the computer BIOS next time.
