Yep Scherererer, that's exactly it. I don't even want that much accuracy - to the nearest minute would suffice. Anyone know of a web-page with the current time and date somewhere on it (preferably near the beginning) that I could aim my program at as a reference.

My reasons again:
Say P1 and P2 take turns at a game of chess and they have a time limit of 5 minutes to take there turn. P1's (local) CurrentTime$() is a minute slow. P2's CurrentTime$() is a minute fast. This would mean that when the game update with TimeOfLastTurn$() is TCP'd to webspace, P1 would be giving P2 a full two minutes extra to contemplate his turn, and P1 himself would only be getting 3 minutes. This is why I need a remote time reference - even if it's not all that accurate.
