Yes it does.
At the moment, my FAST machine is a bit flaky about the date and time. 
If I have Organiser set to run at startup and the time is wrong, it gives
an error message and IIRC 3 alternatives, one of which is something like
set Time & Date. selecting that opens the Date/Time option in configure.
If I correct that all is well. If not, all hell can break loose.
