Yeah, I'd say bigger problems, but ntpd does a rather good job at keeping 
it in check.  Now that I've switched I've noticed:

Feb  8 19:47:22 sproing ntpd[2682]: time reset 13.021988 s
Feb  8 20:10:51 sproing ntpd[2682]: time reset 17.044555 s
Feb  8 20:30:27 sproing ntpd[2682]: time reset 10.211822 s

Heh.  What sort of "external" clocks are available?  I know back when I
had my "PC" (you know, the original tank-like thing) I got an AST SixPac
for it.  The card provided extra RAM (total 640k), a serial port, a
parallel port, and an RTC.  Anything like that available for the Mac?

OTOH, the system hasn't crashed yet with the new kernel.  And Qt finished
compiling.  Whee.
