Re: Alternative clock display

Hello Spehro,

I had one (didn't need it so I uninstalled it) that would measure the
round trip time to a time server, divide by two, and compensate. The
round trip time was typically in the tens of msec.

It you don't need fractions of a second in accuracy it could work. But when I looked at round trip to some servers outside California I found that the times jumped up and down rather erratically. Up to 200msec.

Regards, Joerg
