Actually, there's a bigger problem with doing that -- at every web 
update, it will foster yet another email storm to the reflector. 
Between updates, it will cause a secondary storm about why hasn't it 
been updated yet, timed of course from a thousand or so K3 clocks, and 
leading to a tertiary storm reprising the clock accuracy thread. :-)

That [in]famous thread actually had a tiny upside for me ... I didn't 
know until then that my K3 had a clock.  I set it about 2 weeks ago with 
Dick's nifty K3 Utility, just checked it and it's about 2 sec away from 
WWV.  I set the dive watch I wear at the same time, it's about 1 sec 
from WWV.  I can remember how to use my watch, I'll forget how to get 
the clock display back, probably about 1730 tomorrow. :-)
