Note: We are in trouble - GPS is important, and I depend on them, as do
countless members of the military (the folks that designed and funded
GPS).

Personally, I want a small, inexpensive GPS type unit with a serial
port that I can use as a local time source/reference on my home network
(for geek points)... Under $50 would be perfect.

It's a shame they don't have serial ports on the low cost "atomic" (or
"radio controlled") clocks...
