It would be extremely useful to provide an NTP client function to set the user's
system clock to UTC (Universal Coordinated Time), so that all datestamps are
accurate, which would facilitate synchronization of files and sites, and insure
that the datestamps on email are accurate. A good example of this is the World
Time Server Atomic Clock Sync at http://worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/ . I am
entering it with the Calendar project, but it should also be considered as an
enhancement to the trunk Mozilla package.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
