Ah, but there is variable you have not taken into account, I switch my machine 
off.

I only have it on most of Saturday and Sunday possibly for a couple of hours 
Wed, Thur & Fri night.

Classic example last night, switch mission control on (Suse 9.1) the chairman 
and staff of Midlands electricity board rub their hands together.

Desktop loads and, wait for it, clock says Saturday 03.07.04 3.33am! this was 
at 18.40 last night.

It only takes a couple of seconds to put it right but there you go.
