   I'll add some precision info as I can find it.   
      
   The conventional clock chip has 'similar' tech to an average digital   
   watch, which might be a second per day off, possibly minutes over a   
   year, altho' my present cheap digital watch is a few seconds per half   
   year, when I correct it.  I don't know the current inaccuracy of any of   
   my computers which use NTP.   
      
   Previously I had a so-called 'atomic clock' in the house, which sync/ed   
   itself off the radio signal from Fort Collins CO US each day, and   
   maintained time w/ a typical quartz crystal.   
      
   So, I'm back to my 'original' qx; what kind of precision do you   
   currently have and what kind of precision do you think you need?
