   Absolute Time Corrector is maybe a jewel, maybe is it the time correcor of all times, I frankly don't know, thus giving a score is absurd as posting a review. OK!
   But I'll have to understand one day or another how a program dealing with csystem time correction can ambition to be a shareware when there are dozens, hundreds of simmilar freeware softwares on the market.
   I don't get it!

   You guys who slam time sync software based on the availability of freeware and native Windows alternatives haven't clue #1.
   
   Can all those alternatives you mention act as local time servers, so you're not querying external time servers needlessly, from every system on your network? No.
   
   Can they all automatically select the fastest time server? No.
   
   Can they all try alternate time servers if the primary one doesn't respond? No.
   
   Do they all support proxies? No.
   
   Do they all support multiple time protocols? No.
   
   Can they all run as a service, so they run in the background, and also before logon? No.
   
   Can they all log time corrections, so you can trace the onset of potential system problems that might lead to the clock skew? No.
   
   Are they all supported by the author, in the event that you run into a problem or bug? No.
   
   This utility can't do all of those things, either, but it does some of them at least, which is why I rate it as I did.
   
   Now, go on and rate Firebird poorly because Windows ships with Internet Explorer. Go on now, shoo!

   Thanks for the tip, Urban. I wasn't aware of that. Bring up the Windows clock/calendar and click on the third tab. I find that mine is set to synchronize the time automatically on a regular basis, and can be synchronized manually from that tab.
   
   I use ClockAlign in my system tray in any case, because it can be used to synchronize with the naval observatory and also because it shows the date in your tray, which I find useful. ClockAlign has been stuck on Beta5 for several years, but it's an excellent little freeware program.

   The most convenient and exact program of time synchronization.
