   Unfortunately, you'd need discrete hardware to do this.  The Mac gets its
clock signals from the 60Hz AC input.  Of course, it would be very *simple*
hardware...perhaps there is something out there.

   Hmm.  In europe, where the freq of the AC is 50Hz, does TickCount() have a
1/50sec resolution?
