       I wouldn't say it's that obvious, unless you were doing programming   
   for the old PC, where the Xtal, that also happened to produce the timing   
   for the UART, was chosen so it could produce an exact clock cycle for   
   the old 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and so on, speeds of yesterdays. 8-)
