Yeah, I did think of that, but it seems like such a demeaning use for a
computer.  I mean, the stuff we do with them is demeaning enough:
"count these pulses,"  "turn this LED on, then turn it off,"  "read bits
from this smart sensor," etc.

I just couldn't face telling a PIC to lower itself to the ultimate
mundane task of providing a clock for another PIC.  That is just too
subservient.  I couldn't face myself.
