Been using DXB for years and never noticed this till now.
It could just be my system and curious if anyone else sees it.
The very bottom right corner of the DXB screen shows the time in GMT.
Which coincidentally is right above the normal Windows XP clock that's in the taskbar.
They not always in sync.
Sometimes the Taskbar clock is just a fraction of a second ahead of the DXB clock.
Hours and minutes are ok (taking into consideration the GMT offset) but the seconds can
lag behind the Windows clock by a tiny bit.
And sometimes they ARE in sync (great name for a boy band name):-)
I'm assuming that the deviation is due to some other processing going on in the background
that caused DXB to go into 'hold' for a fraction.
It's no consequence, just funny that it took all these years to notice it.
Wonder if anyone else sees it.
Machine is AMD 3200, running WinXPSP2, multi monitor on a home LAN.
