I must be losing my mind. I have just noticed that the operating system
clock is %15 fast. To be clear, I am not talking about the battery backed
clock (which is fine), but about the operating system's sense of time, i.e
the time given by the "date" command. I cannot for the life of me tell if
this has just happened, or whether I haven't noticed.
What makes this strange, at least to me, is that Delay() seems to know what
the real time is. I wrote a program that does nothing but call Delay(60L*50L)
and I timed it using a stop watch to take exactly one minute. Can anyone
explain why the time is running %15 fast and yet Delay() is exactly right?
And I suppose somewhat more importantly, how can I fix my machine? Running
fast by %15 is a bit much. Thanks.

In my previos aritcle about the fast system clock, I forgot to mention that I
have a Rev 4.2 B2000. Sorry about that.
