In this case I must agree. With NTP and such we'd better be on time. 
But if the system's so concerned with time it deserves being 
respectfully and manually shut down, doesn't it? :)

I was only having in mind the way I'm using SimH. I'm running TOPS-10 
and being nostalgically accurate with a clock set on 1978 (the time I 
was in College coding my very first Fortran programs).
