[GreenKeys] Western-Union time service

[Don Robert House]

Mac OS had the network time feature long before Windows.

The latest word out of the west coast is that MS is working on Windows  
7.

It is supposed to fix all the problems with VISTA.  Only TIME will tell.

Windows XP has built-in internet time service, it works
silently by polling a time service that is user selectable. I
assume that Windows Vista carried the technology over
to it as well (I have no plans to downgrade from XP Pro
to Vista anything due to remaining MS-DOS software
still on my system).
