Thanks for sharing that.  I just tried the obvious google search for
"crystal ppm" and most of the hits where for crystals on the order of
30-50ppm, with the occasional 100ppm.  Precision crystals seem to be
rated at <1ppm.  So, 600ppm seems a bit on the high side, but I guess
it's not totally unreasonable either.  I guess NTP is our
friend... ;-)
