Still another method for manually checking the time is to monitor WWV, the
U.S. government's radio broadcast time signal, which is the national
standard for UTC (GMT).  It broadcasts on 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mhz.  If you
don't have a shortwave radio in your computer room :-) you can monitor WWV
by telephone at 303-499-7111.

If you're going to set the clock manually (and I do it that way too), you
can
get the time from:

     www.time.gov

You also get a nice-looking little map of the world thrown in for free, too.
