I can't really speak for anyone else on the net, but one of the things that I 
really hate is clocks that are "just a little bit off".  

Now, a few years ago, I remember seeing a Heathkit (read:expensive) project for 
"the world's most accurate clock".  Apparantly the thing picked up a broadcast 
from the NBS and decoded it.

What a lovely thing for my PC... "this file created on 22-Jul-89 10:59:03.4 
_EXACTLY_"   :-)

So the question... anyone know how this works and how/where it is broadcast?
