        I disagree.. A couple of years ago, your assumptions about using the ac
line as a timer would have been correct, but today, almopst all time sources
are based on a quartz crystal. It is obvious that the GS would be for two
reasons 1) when the power is off, the clock is run off the battery, not the AC
line, and 2) Unless I'm wrong, the clock uses the same timer as the CPU.
