clock: In a PC are two clocks, a more accurate clock calendar and a less accurate a tick counter. The tick counting clock is reset from the clock calendar every time you reboot. This is why your screen clock tends to be more accurate just after a reboot. You can reset both clocks from an highly accurate atomic clock.
