Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but having the clock set to gmt requires one to dial in once a day into a time server to keep it accurate. I have 2 problems with this. 1. I'm using dial up. How long does such a cordination take? 2. You need to write to somewone who administers a server close to you to get permission to access it. I consider that to be somewhat of a hastle. Also, If I had my clock set to gmt, it would tell me what time it is in Greenwhich England. I'm not really interested in what the time is there, I would much rather know what my local time is right now.
