Re: sexy javascript clocks

That clock will uses the time on the clients machine, not on any server. No
matter whether or not the time is correct on the server, the time half way
around the world will be different.

If you don't want to use it the don't.

I now have a clock of to my right when I am on my computer, so a clock on
any web page isn't as helpful as it used to be. But if there is a clock on a
web site, I prefer them running, as caching will make it inaccurate.
