I did not see this but then I run Dimension.4. That keeps my clock in sync
at regular intervals.

During the past weekends contest (RTTY) I noticed at one time that <br>
the computer clock was 7 minutes slow. I corrected t it and watched
<br>
it, the best I could, the rest of the contest. About a minute every two
<br>
hours is lost - a rough estimate. This morning, Thursday, I checked
<br>
the computer clock and it is right on. I have used it sparingly since
<br>
Sunday.<br><br>
The ONLY program running was WriteLog/MMTTY! No connection <br>
to the Internet, no prefix checker, no this, no that. Is my particular
<br>
computer at fault or does using the WriteLog/MMTTY combo heavily <br>
take that many clock pulses from the internal timer?<br><br>
As I say, just curious.<br><br>
