Time constantly running fast
Using latest version of Panther on a G4 Emac. I've always set my time preferences to use an internet time server with no problem, however now my clock is running really fast. Like, several minutes a day fast after I reset it. Any ideas? The only domestic time server I can access is "Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)". I seem to recall before there being other U.S. choices. Is that the problem?

I've never had this happen to me, and I'm on the same time server you are, mine is still correct.
that would also explain it... but you'd be seeing redshift

The odd thing is that the instant my date and time panel is activated (via System Preferences), the time immediately adjusts itself correctly. Odd... I wish I could pinpoint exactly when it happened.
that's not odd, that's the sync with the network timeserver taking effect
IIRC, Jaguar had a "Synchronize Now" button, Panther just has a tickbox for set D&T automatically
if it were an old Mac (1990's vintage) you might get the clock battery on the mobo replaced
