using a NeXT for Reaction Time Experiments

Some people here are interested in doing reaction time experiments with
sound and/or images. Essentially, we'd simply like to measure the
precise time from when a sound or image is displayed until the subject
presses a key on the keyboard or mouse. Using a NeXT, what sort of time
resolution could we expect - 1ms, 10ms, more?

I've just recently moved and don't have access to a NeXT (but not for
long, hopefully), so I can't test it myself.  Has anyone experimented
with this?

	Thanks,
		Bill
