Get something else. My iBook says, now:
500 $ uptime
8:18 up 14 days, 10:34, 4 users, load averages: 0.15 0.03 0.16
... and I once reached about 400 days on my Solaris workstation.
But I perceive a significant dearth of objectivity in this thread.
Admit it. The PFCSKs are right on this one. There's no justification
nowadays for a requirement to POR (not just IPL, mind you, POR) to
make certain clock changes. Shrug. It's just something the
designers of the TOD clock overlooked. Maybe things will improve
with the newly announced time protocol.
