Or just adding your own I2C RTC if you really need it (like we used to do with the rPi? :-P Gotta have some ingenuity... can't have it all served up to you on a platter... where's the fun in that? :-P
One real world example I have is my r64 is hooked up to a weather station. Software then tries to download missing records while the r64 was offline, this occurs before network or ntp is up and running, this can be delayed. My solution was to hook up a car battery to a UPS, but RTC would have been nicer.
