Don't forget that most PCs are always online, and adjusting their clocks
from the various time servers. Mostly, today, you'd see the clock error
after the computer's been turned off for a while, or at least off-line.
Back when most computers were only online occasionally, if at all, it
was more obvious.

you sure about that?
brain is a little cloudy right now, and recall is not supplying file
names, but linux and unix use their own time keeping routine.
routine counts from 'day 1' and iirc, there are 2 or 3 files, in /etc,
that are used to make corrections to the time keeping routine. one of
them is name 'adjtime'. do not recall others.
