I seem to be having a problem with the internal clock in my A1000. I have a Timesaver unit from C Ltd. that automatically sets the time when I boot. I tend to leave my computer on continuously, and over a period of two or three days my computer gains about two minutes compared to the alarm clock sitting nearby (which is syncrhonized within one minute of the computer at boot time). I have read articles in this newsgroup dealing with the A2000 clock, but I haven't really heard anything about time problems with the A1000. What is my recommended course of action? --M Michael Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "little things remind me of you...cheap cologne and that damn song too!" --The Flirts, "Jukebox"

[ This is a disguise. ]
Someone appears to be perpetrating another Time Warp on
comp.sys.amiga. You know, old articles getting echoed back to the Net.
Ordinarily, cunyvm.bitnet (or something close to that) would get the
blame, but all the headers from the old messages have this in it:
Path: well!pacbell!ames!xanth!ukma!.....
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu also features very prominently in the Path:,
but isn't always there. The above path fragment, however, appears in all
the reruns.
If anyone concered is watching, please rectify this.

Xanth runs with only 36M for news, and it's been overflowing several days in a row. Someone has really opened up the sluices... The -p option of expire is useful against this. I'm right now modifying our rnews to reject articles that were posted too long ago (2 weeks, I guess), and I'm upping our history retention to 40 days. It's really annoying. ...tad
