Very useful program.

We had an old Tadiran phone system, and it was losing time. Randomly through the day it would lose anywhere from five minutes to two hours.

Of course, the system wasn't under maintenance any longer, and the phone place wanted $4,000 for a new motherboard (the crystal was bad so the clock was wrong, or so they said). Considering everything else worked fine, we just manually set the clock here and there.

And then I found AHK, and wrote a quick script that logged into the phone software, entered the correct time, and saved it to the system. Set that to run every hour and ever heard anyone complain about it again.
