We've been through this one before!  :-)

The computer I have now has an even more inaccurate clock:

Nov  1 06:10:00 taxa ntpdate[7165]: adjust time server 128.101.101.101 offset 0.403312 sec
Nov  1 08:10:01 taxa ntpdate[7328]: adjust time server 128.101.101.101 offset 0.398742 sec
Nov  1 10:10:01 taxa ntpdate[7618]: adjust time server 128.101.101.101 offset 0.390294 sec

I'd be in danger of going off by .5 s if I waited any longer to update!
