Chris,

> Well isn't that how a real computer works.

And why would I want to convert my Pi into a "real computer" ?   I've
already got one.

> Your approach is wrong if you have a real hardware clock

If I would do what you say - demand actually - than /your/ problem would be
solved, not mine.   And as I do not know you and as such do not need to
humor you, why should I do that ?

But, seeing that you are hell-bent on solving /your/ problem by making my
RTC a permanent fixture to /my/ Pi (which can only be done with wires
sticking out and a good glob of hot-glue - something you didn't even
consider) I don't think it makes any sense to continue our conversation.  As
such, goodbye.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
