It *MIGHT* be OK for some people but honestly I think with all the  
online and banking issues and security issues now days it should  
*NOT* work. The legalities could become a major issue and I would  
hate to see anyone loose a lot of money over something like this.  
Also, it *MAY* come in handy if your computer needs to be scrutinized  
for anything illegal. I can imagine an outcome of a court case going  
against someone that did not have the current date/time.
