These days, many start-up shareware companies have grown up into full fledged software manufacturing firms with reputations for quality and professionalism while retaining their greatly reduced prices. It is my intention to bring to your notice a variety of shareware programs that you might really like to have on your computer and would likely want to purchase. There will be the usual new-release reviews and honorable mentions of new games available in both shareware or demo formats. I also want to cover the unusual program, the clever application, and the more interesting Web sites where the best shareware can be obtained. My first review is about software that solves the problem of constantly having to correct the time on your computer's clock.
Some computers can drift by as much as a minute or so per day.
For those of you who are considering on whether to repair or to replace parts of your computer, I would like to offer you the following inexpensive shareware alternative. That's not all that the program does. Standard Time Keeper will call the atomic clock again in seven days, or a longer interval if you choose that setup option. It will measure the amount of drift that your clock has moved away from true between telephone calls and it will continuously compensate for your clock's drift. Your computer will always have the correct time no matter how it drifts and each time that your computer makes the telephone call, it will recalculate and correct for the drift.
