Unhappy

SqueakMail - Choose a clock site which is geographically close. I was using a US Naval clock (which is quite a long way away) with World Clock and wondered why it was always about twenty seconds slow compared with the BBC time signal. Changed it to a local clock and the clock hand zoomed forward about 26 seconds. I suspect this might be because there is a finite time for the time signal to work its way back through the "messy" network known as the Internet!
