This is a shame. One of my first proper programming projects was a timesync client for the Amiga, back in the 1990s. It used SNTP (the simpler version of NTP), as everybody else seemed to be using other protocols (I think there's one called time which just returns the current time in text form). I was immensely proud of it, it's called FACTS if you want to look it up.

Anyway, David Mills is a bit of a hero of mine because that protocol inspired me to create some software, and probably made me even more obsessed with accurate time.
