What's that noise...?
What time to you want it to be?
Bath time?
Bed time?
Meal time?
or, Party time ...?
If you are using a computer running any version of XP, you can right click on the clock and choose "Internet Time," and Bill Gates will automatically update your clock. I guess this means he is now in competition with Greenwich ...
XP and Bill Gates notwithstanding, there are several aftermarket programs available that will automatically check and reset the cpu clock. The one I like best is called "SocketWatch" -- an older, Shareware program that runs on pre-XP systems. I had it on my (ME) desktop before I upgraded to XP. It loaded and updated automatically with each boot of the computer.
"Atomtime," is another, and it does the time sync ritual against the atomic clock in Boulder, CO, as I recall. For some unknown reason, Socketwatch did not work properly on my old Gateway laptop (W98, 2nd Ed.), so I went with Atomtime. It does not update automatically, but does the trick upon command.
Post a heads up when it is meal or party time, and maybe some of us can come over and help you with your time management ...
