The problem I have with the built-in windows "automatically sync with
internet time server" is that it should have a setting that says to
ignore hours and just sync minutes and seconds.

Why? Set the time zone correctly and where's the problem?

You are still a ****head.

You're the one who wants the information, not me. It's already been

you remain blissfully ignorant.

I would say if he "runs circles around other Windows users", then he
clearly wouldn't need to ask overly simplistic questions in a newsgroup
such as this. Therefore he is little more than a troll and best ignored.

Right, it sets the clock correctly. Unless you can explain further, it
sounds like you've got your timezone settings set incorrectly (which
will cause other issues beyond the display of the time in the taskbar);
Set your timezone correctly and this is solved.

Not a troll, exactly, because he seems to not be aware of his
unintentional comedy (this incident is just the latest, and there's a
new one today.) He's really just another delusional internet blowhard,
good for a good eye-roll every now and then.

People who are supposed to be knowledgeable and proficient about
personal computers shouldn't be stuck in the past. If nothing
else, show some respect for your leaders.

To be precise, I was 74 on my last birthday. I tried out voice commands
many years ago and found the mouse and keyboard a much better mode of
operation. Maybe when I'm in my dotage I'll find it useful but not now.

Bull****. The problem is you cannot do it, and you never will.
You have to be a real technician and do lots of grueling work
before you can get the hang of it. Using speech recognition, I do
personal computer stuff easier and faster than you ever could.

I'm about as jealous as I am German.

You seem to have a lot of your ego invested in a common, readily-
available commercial software package. If that makes you feel like a
superman, so be it, but don't think you look that way to anybody else,
especially when you come up with the howlers you regularly do here.

By the way, I've used Dragon's products. They're good, and designed so
pretty much any idiot can use them. They are nothing I need or want for
myself.
