Whew, info messages I like!

I think this still has something to do with the date being in GMT.
I just logged on to mclap and the time was 22GMT.  I'm not sure
why it would work when you first boot and not after a while, but
here's something to try.  Open a root window and run control-panel.
Select the date/time icon, change the date and select the set system
clock.  Then reboot.  Run the command 'date' from the command line
and see if it is the correct MST date.

Probably not, but it could bump you up to a 450 MHz Pentium II. ;-)

Let me know what happens with the date changing.
