Re: cheap GPS

Nothing unexpected - Y2K problem is not the problem of 2000 year (90% of 
the cry about Y2K readyness and so on are only a good way to pick up more 
money) - the real problem for the real-time devices will bу the scale 
limits of the internal _real-time_ counters which count everywhere except 
the year 2000; this is the nearest example of such overloading.

Through I did not see anything to worry about - your GPC may be show you 
the wrong date, but why it can affect the accuracy at all (except some 
short time around the very moment itself).
