Well, what makes you think I haven't made my mind up?

Several years ago I built a "network clock" that receives WWVB time 
signals, has a clock display and an Ethernet interface so computers on 
the local network can ask for the time.  The hardware works and the 
software is able to decode the WWVB time code.  I am interested in 
finishing it now.  The computers on the network can use a Perl program 
to get the time.

Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
