This was too good to pass up....

I was just curious how many of the vendors out there for GPS has handled
this and what is necessary for the "upgrade".  So I wandered around and
happened upon the Absolute time home page, which has this wonderful quote:

  "Absolute Time produces a family of products that are optimized for time
   and frequency applications using the Global Positioning System (GPS)
   signals.  The products use advanced algorithms to achieve extremely low
   jitter and stability."

Now I don't disagree that low jitter is good...  But low stability?
(I guess it's all in how you read it :)
