GPS rollover - are you ready?

[Christoph Doerbeck A242369]

Just an FYI to anyone that relies on the Global Positioning System (GPS),
the rollover is this weekend (midnight August 21-22).

For anyone not "in the know" about NTP & GPS, some references are:

	Network Time Protocol
	http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/

	For a history on calendars:

This was brought up as dinner conversation after last nights meeting.
Shortly there-after, "E's Relativity on a paper napkin"...
