Isn't there a way to pick up the time from the wicked web?

if you're using windows xp or later it will automatically set the time:http://www.tf.nist.gov/service/pdf/win2000xp.pdf
if you are using windows 98 or earlier you can download a free tool to set the time (world time (http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/))

No, no no let it, while some here might not be able to use java applet due to thier aged software, they will never see the time... judt the lower green pallet area.
Think of Java applet as a 3D application in a 2D Word. Or Dynmaic Vs static.
Downloading Java (with the proper software) is like the difference betwwen pong and the New kids Video games.
Java, like Adobe Flash are just extra CPU condiments, if ones software is up to date take the link / download.
There some real cool games that are exclusively Java based like playing pool from behind the Pool stick, one can raise the stick in "y" an off aim to the que with English.
