From what I understand, using the 60Hz line as a reference for timing is not
a good practice if you want any accuracy.  I have heard that cycles can be
longer or shorter than 1/60th of a second and some cycles can be lost completely.
Anyone care to comment on this with more substance other than my glaring
generalities?!
