I must be incredibly nerdy, because I spent 10 minutes the other day
getting my new G5's clock to click over at the exact moment the minute
tone on the WWV station began.

I've noticed, however, that after a few hours the minute clicks over
before the tone, and in fact after a day, up to 4 or 5 seconds. Has
anyone else noticed the G5's clock not being very accurate?


You can't expect a quartz controlled computer clock to maintain atomic
time accuracy.

Every time you startup or restart you can have the computer query an
Internet time server. If you keep the computer on all the time open the
date and time control panel and un-check then check the "set date and
time automatically" to get the computer to update from the server.
