Simple question (he says bravely)...

When the time setting is set to automatically synchronize over the Internet, how often does OS X do this? Weekly? Monthly? Can this be changed?

Thanks.

Idunno... but I think my clock added an extra second an hour ago.

I know. That was the joke. Besides, I wanted to watch and see if it showed up on my computer, but I totally lost track of time. I didn't expect it to anyway. I figured the computer would figure it out the next time the clock was synchronized.

I can't tell if our iBook has updated the time yet, mainly because I don't know how often it updates. On the other hand, it shouldn't be off by much more than an second, even if it hasn't updated yet.

Had I thought about it, I would have been watching my GPS to see if at midnight UTC the time did anything interesting... Too busy to remember though. Oh well.
