-> Wrong answer. An atomic clock only provides an exact measurement of how long a
-> second is. It doesn't keep time in hours and minutes, you still need to sync up
-> with some official time source for that, and then you can keep time at a high
-> accuracy. If you give a wrong starting time, you still get the accuracy, but
-> your clock can still be way off. ;)

 I know we are just "Nit Picking" sematics but the "so
called "Atomic
Clocks" that once per day synch to the National Bureru of Standards
Time sites are quite reasonable.
