Any one go to this?  What was used as the clock?  How does 
it get to be stratum-1?  That is reserved for a decent 
clock, IIRC?  As in a primary reference, like caesium?

Anyone got a link on the primary ref clock?  I checked out 
the sheeva plug and its thermally mismanaged variants.  The 
concept is tres cool.  The thermal issues, not so good.  Any 
list members have first hand experience with wall-wart 
computers?
