Hi again Chris!

Some more silly thoughts:

Time Server -- Often "GPS NTP Time Server"  I suppose it adds a bit of
expense but the time accuracy would be increased.

PCI Hardware Clock.  These can be much more accurate than your
hardware clock and not as fussy about how you use them.

Have a lot of fun!
