Not the ultimate utility, yet

1) The free version keeps nagging for upgrade once every hour. If this would have been disclosed as a feature, I wouldn't have bothered to download, let alone install the utility. This is nag-ware - not share-ware

2) Chronos can only synchronize on set intervals, driven by the clock. It assumes that there is a network connection available at these times. Fine, may be, for an always-on office computer, but note for notebooks / other systems that are off for (prolonged) periods. It lacks the facility to find actual time when an IP connections opens.

Have removed Chronos, will keep looking

What's up with that pop up?

When I recieved the pop-up ubout upgrading to avoid recieving the pop-up I uninstalled it. But, in the short time I used it, what was missing was the option to have the program close after it syncronizes.

Or, perhaps give the option to let the program run in the background hidden from the sytem tray-I have too many things showing there already.

Best atomic clock program.

In my opinion this is the best program of this kind. Full of features, easy to use, it interrogates a whole list of servers and gives the latency times of each. For the obsessive compulsive gadget lover, this is a dream come true. Can't ask for anything better!

I use this just for fun.

It's a cool prog. I like my computers clock always sharp. Since Windows XP I don't need external program for that. But I like to see when my comp's clock is synced with many time servers not just one. Also I can set up the sync intervals much more easyer then with windows.
- what kind of tasks would you solve with this program?
Having fun.
- how this program helps to solve your task? I have.
