Hello, I work with a national news radio/television program called Democracy 
Now. We do a lot of time-based programming since we have many syndicated 
stations most with automated scheduling systems. I've developed an NTP 
network on our LAN and I'm in the process of constructing a large display 
clock for the control room so there's no question as to What Time It Is.

In a classic DIY fashion, I was unimpressed with the various Free/Shareware 
Windows clock programs floating around on the internet so I thought Squeak 
would be a good way to make a customized clock display that's infinitely 
tweakable. Conviently I found the default clock widget, which was a good 
place to start.

Here's the nit picking. How does squeak deal with latency and how does it 
interface with the Windows system clock? Our NTP network is fairly new and 
it's still developing sync, but the display of the Windows system clock is 
quite inconsistant with the display of the Squeak clock (measured by watching 
the seconds ticker). I can think of some possible explainations for this but 
I don't really know enough about these kind of details to feel informed.
