[time-nuts] Leap second to the masses

2005-12-30 Thread Rex
Tonight, local news (ABC Ch7 in the California SF Bay Area) mentioned the leap second was going to happen. Pretty lame coverage; only about 30 secs of the news. Lots of pictures of reference clocks in racks. Approximate quote: Some computers or cell phones could have problems, but nothing to worry
