Is there a  definitive  cheap,  easy to get clock  chip?  ...the
type which  tells me the time, not the type that gives me a nice
square wave!

If not, what are people using to keep the time.  Accuracy is not
such a big deal, battery power use,  cheapness, and  availablity
are.

Also,    I    don't     care    if    the     output    is    in
years/months/days/hours/etc  or just  seconds  from  some  time,
there will be a million layers of software above it.

thanks,

David Williams
